The Science of CERAMENT

Bioactive

Calcium Sulphate and Hydroxyapatite

• Physiologic pH
  • Allows exchange between CERAMENT™ and the ions in the body
• Spontaneously creates a close bond with the surface of the bone encouraging new bone growth/remodelling
  • Unique combination of CaS and HA favours spontaneous deposition of nanocrystalline apatite on the surface of CERAMENT™
  • This nanolayer enhances the direct contact between material and Bone
    • Bioactivity of the material
