-
BioComposite 70% PLGA/30% β-TCP
Faster resorbing Second-Generation Resorbable Co-Polymer of Poly-L-Lactic Acid and Poly-Glycolic Acid (PLGA) plus β-TriCalcium Phosphate (β-TCP).1
-
Resorbable & Promotes Boney Ingrowth
Pre-clinical and clinical testing has shown that BIOCYL RAPIDE Material resorbs over time, followed by bone in-growth.1,2,
-
Pure Medical Grade β-TCP
Ensures purity of β-TCP without added fillers.
-
Micro Particle Dispersion Technology
MPD is a proprietary manufacturing process that ensures a homogenous blend of β-TCP and PLGA particles. Dispersion of the composite particles is critical to the material strength properties.3
-
Radiopaque
β-TCP enables the implant to be visible on x-ray.
