Intended purpose
PearlMatrix™ Bone Graft is intended to fill bony voids or gaps in extremities and spine that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. Sufficient internal or external fixation is required. PearlMatrix™ Bone Graft may be mixed with autogenous bone and/or autogenous bone marrow aspirate (BMA).
Functional description
PearlMatrix functions as an osteoconductive bone graft that facilitates osteogenic cell attachment and new bone formation. The material provides a scaffold that supports cellular ingrowth and bone remodeling at the graft site. After implantation, the matrix is gradually resorbed and replaced with native bone through normal cell-mediated processes, while the carriers serve only to aid placement and containment of the graft material during surgery.
