Bone Wedge
Bone wedge allografts are typically composed of dense cancellous bone with either no cortical ridges or a single/multiple cortical ridges. The cancellous bone provides a natural scaffold for bone ingrowth, while the cortical ridges provide additional structural support. Allogenic wedge bone grafts are a specific type of allogenic bone graft shaped like a triangle. They are commonly used in orthopedic surgeries to restore bone defects and provide structural support. One of the main uses of allogenic wedge bone grafts is in bone defect reconstruction. These grafts are often employed when there is a significant bone defect resulting from trauma, tumor resection, or congenital abnormalities. By filling in the missing bone, allogenic wedge bone grafts help restore the bone’s integrity and provide support for proper healing. Another application of allogenic wedge bone grafts is in corrective osteotomies. Corrective osteotomy procedures involve cutting and realigning a bone to correct deformities or malalignment. The use of allogenic wedge bone grafts can help maintain the corrected position and facilitate bone healing in these cases.
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.

DBM Putty
Demineralized bone matrix (DBM) putty is a highly specialized bone graft material that has emerged as a valuable tool in the surgical management of bone defects. Derived from human or animal bone that has been processed to remove its mineral components, DBM putty presents a soft, malleable scaffold richly endowed with osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties. These properties enable DBM putty to serve as a platform for bone cell attachment, proliferation, and differentiation, fostering the regeneration of new bone tissue.
DBM putty offers a range of advantages over traditional autografts (bone grafts harvested from the patient's own body) and allografts (bone grafts sourced from cadavers). Its osteoconductive nature allows it to seamlessly integrate with the surrounding bone, while its osteoinductive capacity stimulates the production of bone-forming proteins, accelerating the healing process.
The biocompatible carrier in which DBM putty is incorporated plays a crucial role in its moldable and easy-to-form nature. This carrier, typically a combination of collagen and alginate, provides the putty with its desired consistency, allowing surgeons to precisely shape and contour it to fill bone voids of various sizes and configurations. The carrier also contributes to the overall bioactivity of DBM putty, enhancing its ability to promote bone regeneration.
Particulated Bone
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.
