Primary Application
Wedge allograft, a commonly used product in orthopedic corrective procedures, is particularly effective in addressing abnormal lower limb alignment conditions such as Genu Varum (bow-legged) and Genu Valgum (knock-kneed).
In cases like Genu Varum, where the knees deviate outward, or Genu Valgum, where the knees incline inward, the normal distribution of forces across the knee joint becomes imbalanced. This misalignment can lead to pain, joint degeneration, and mobility issues over time.
Role of Wedge Allograft in
Surgery
In procedures such as osteotomy, where the surgeon cuts and realigns the bone to correct the deformity, a wedge-shaped space is created at the site of correction. To maintain the newly achieved angle and promote proper healing, a wedge allograft is inserted into the gap.
These grafts are typically derived from donor bone and are shaped like a wedge (triangular) to match the specific anatomical and surgical requirements.
Advantages of Wedge Allograft Use
Reduces the need for autograft harvesting, minimizing donor site pain and complications
Accelerates bone healing and integration
Available in various sizes and heights to match individual patient needs
High biocompatibility with a low risk of immune response
This makes wedge allografts a reliable and efficient option in achieving anatomical alignment and restoring joint functionality.
Product Description
Description
These wedges consist of cortical tissue on the outer ring and cancellous bone in the center. The cortical tissue provides added strength to withstand the weight of the patient’s body.
The primary purpose of tibial wedges is to aid in corrective surgeries, specifically in correcting the angles of Bow legs (genu varum) and Knock-knees (genu valgum). These conditions involve abnormal alignment of the lower limbs, leading to an imbalance in weight distribution and potential joint pain.
Tibial wedges are utilized during corrective procedures to realign the tibia bone. Surgeons can successfully straighten and repair the limb by adjusting its angle by precisely positioning the wedge. This promotes better function overall, pain relief, and the restoration of natural biomechanics.
To meet the individual demands of every patient, tibial wedges are available in a range of sizes and heights. With so many possibilities available, surgeons can choose the best wedge for each patient’s situation, resulting in a more accurate correction and a more seamless surgical procedure.

Description
The tricortical iliac crest wedge product is the result of a cross-sectional cut of the ilium bone in the shape of a wedge (triangle), made of cortical and cancellous bone. The cancellous tissue in this product promotes neovascularization and regeneration of bone tissue, while the cortical bone tissue forms a sheath that covers the cancellous core.
These products are widely used in corrective surgeries, such as the correction of angles in geno-varum and geno-valgum. Tricortical wedges are available in various dimensions and heights to accelerate the surgical process.

The acellular dermis membrane collagen membrane, contains basement membrane on one of its surfaces. It can provide a dense and impenetrable layer against microorganism and pathogen penetration into deeper layers.
So the membrane surface can stay exposed in high-perfused tissue of the oral cavity. The product origin is the collagen membrane (skin dermal layer), which consists of strong collagen type I and III fibers that strengthen the product, and also elastic fibers causing flexibility. This collagen membrane results in product’s unique features.
Freeze-dried bone allograft as Bone grafting such as Cube, Matchstick and Block forms has revolutionized orthopedic and maxillofacial surgeries, offering distinct advantages due to their unique compositions. Cube and Matchstick configurations consist solely of cancellous bone, while block formations comprise a core of cancellous bone enveloped by a cortical surface. These allograft are meticulously processed to decellularization and ensure sterilization. The resulting grafts provide essential structural support and seamlessly integrate with the recipient’s bone, promoting the formation of new bone.
Cube and block bone allografts effectively address osseous deficiencies caused by various conditions, from post-traumatic injuries to degenerative diseases and reconstructive procedures. In dental implantology, they serve as a reliable scaffold for augmenting deficient mandible and maxilla structures and facilitating successful implant placement. Moreover, in reconstruction surgeries, these grafts significantly contribute to restoring maxillofacial and skeletal, enabling patients to regain both physical form and function.
Ongoing refinement of bone grafting techniques, along with continued research and innovation, will further enhance the applications and outcomes of cube and block bone allografts, elevating the standard of care in orthopedic and maxillofacial surgeries.
Particulated bone allografts, derived from human bone tissue, are biomaterials used to fill bone defects and promote bone regeneration. They come in various particle sizes, each offering unique properties and applications.
Powdered allografts, the smallest particles, possess high integration capabilities and are suitable for small defects. Granule and crushed allografts are larger in size, serving as a foundation for bone regeneration and can be used as fillers or for augmentation.
Chip allografts, the largest among particulated bone grafts, provide a bone scaffold, making them ideal for larger defects or augmentation.
