BonAlive® is a fully synthetic, silica-based bone graft substitute that is used for bone cavity filling in orthopaedic and cranio-maxillofacial surgery, including jaw surgery. The unique feature of BonAlive® is that it naturally inhibits bacterial growth*, while promoting natural bone formation through osteostimulation** (non-osteoinductive).
BonAlive® effectively promotes the growth of new bone:
- Stimulates new bone formation (Osteostimulation**)
- Bonds chemically to bone (Bioactive)
- Accelerates local bone turnover
- Resorbs slowly, which ensures long-term bone formation
(**The claim is not registered in the US)
BonAlive® is safe:
- Fully synthetic and resorbable
- Consists of elements naturally existing in the body
- Biocompatible and non-toxic to tissues
- Long-term clinical history with proven performance and safety
BonAlive® inhibits bacterial growth:
- Inhibits bacterial growth* (a unique feature), therefore it acts as a preventive agent against infections in all bone cavity fillings and, in addition, decreases the risk of relapse of infections in e.g. treatment of chronically infected bone.
