InterOss® Collagen Block is anorganic hydroxyapatite-collagen composite for use in periodontal, oral, and maxillofacial surgery. It is a combination of 90% bovine granules and 10% collagen fibers molded into a block form (also available as a plug).
InterOss® granules exhibit a natural mineralized bone structure, similar to human bone, and provides an osteoconductive environment for the ingrowth of the adjacent viable bone. Its excellent porosity allows the grafting material to act as a conduit for the exchange of body fluids and growth factors while allowing cells to guide bone formation. Highly purified collagen facilitates the adaptation of these granules to the defect site, bringing about exceptional handling and ease of use.
