heracure 3D - Synthetic Calcium Phosphate Bone Substitute Scaffolds for Guided Bone Regeneration

heracure 3D is a synthetic, porous, biocompatible, osteoconductive and bioresorbable bone substitute material to support the bone healing process. It is used for filling or reconstructing of non-load-bearing bone defects or for filling of bone defects, which are sufficiently stabilized by appropriate means. The exceptional support of heracure 3D in bone healing results from the patented 3D printing approach using heracure one calcium phosphate based paste - and low temperature processing.

• Advanced Pore Structure: three-dimensionally interconnected pore system, facilitating optimal osteoconduction, tissue ingrowth and osteointegration

• Bone-like Composition: made from calcium phosphate which forms microcrystalline hydroxyapatite which is similar to that of natural bone, resulting in excellent biocompatibility

• Resorbability: is resorbed by cell-mediated processes and replaced by endogenous bone over time, ensuring effective integration into the patient’s bone structure

• Ready-to-Use: available in multiple shapes and sizes to meet diverse clinical needs - immediately and without the need for preparation

• Structural Support: can support the stabilization of bone defects due to its bone-like mechanical strength

• Compatibility with Other Materials: can be combined with autologous or allogeneic materials, such as blood, blood-based products, bone marrow aspirate, or autologous cancellous bone, to enhance healing

heracure 3D is intended for filling non-infected and non-load-bearing bone defects or for the filling of bone defects that have been sufficiently stabilized by means of suitable measures.

The particular application areas of heracure 3D are:

• Metaphyseal defect fractures, e.g. fractures of the tibia, radius and humerus

• Osteotomy in various bones, e.g. tibia, femur, humerus, radius, metatarsals

• Bone defects after removal or replacement of osteosynthesis implants
