Calcium Sulphate
- The Alpha-form of CaS hemihydrate
- Medical Grade
- Higher density*
- Slower resorption rate*
- Stronger*
- Resorbs 6 to 12 months* when combined with Hydroxyapatite
- Safe and ease of handling
- High injectability allows HA particles to be carried into the bone defect
- Prevents HA particle migration
- Provides stabilisation of the fracture and a resorbable matrix for new bone growth
- Synthetically produced to assure high purity and reproducibility

Hydroxyapatite
- Stable, biocompatible calcium phosphate
- The main constituent of bone
- Highly crystalline particles to confer high injectability
- Long term support and bone remodelling
- The HA used in CERAMENT™ augments the CaS and retards resorption rate
- Cancellous bone grows around and embeds the HA particles into new bone with no adverse inflammatory response
