Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is the surgical process of filling in defects caused on the cortical and cancellous region due to effects left behind by Trauma, tumor, and other infections. Most of the different bone void fillers such as Stimulan, Genex, Infuse, Mastergraft, Quickset and Grafton are based on similar principles.
- Cortical bone – It is the outer surface of the bone, protects the inner cavities of the bone.
- Cancellous bone – Also known as spongy bone, composed of tissues giving a honeycomb appearance.
Types of Bone Grafts
- Autograft – Bone part taken from one’s own body.
- Allograft– Bone part taken from another person’s body mainly cadaver.
- Synthetic– substances are bio-compatible and possess similar mechanical properties as the bone.
Bone Graft – Purpose
- Promotes the union of bone or bone defects is filled in fractures etc
- Fill bone defects caused due to cysts, tumors
- Bridging joints
Synthetic Bone graft substitutes are pretty common in orthopedic surgeries. Stimulan, Genex, Infuse, Mastergraft, Grafton, Quickset are some of the bone graft substitutes present in the worldwide market.
Graftys– Quickset Bone Void Filler
This cement-like substance is a synthetic bone graft substitute. It is cement made up of calcium phosphate with high viscosity. The mechanical properties of the cement are similar to that of a cancellous bone.
This synthetic bone graft substitute is an injectable syringe that comes with a pre-filled powder containing calcium phosphate, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, and an aqueous solution that is phosphate-based. These components are mixed within and are made into a paste. The paste hardens only in vivo i.e hardening of the paste to a concrete happens only after inside the body. After hardening, an apatite – a mineral of phosphate-source is formed that is less in calcium. This apatite closely mimics the mineral phase or region of the bone.
Quickset is a product from Graftys, french bone biomaterials, and medical device manufacturers. It is a medtech company having 10+ years of experience. They market their products to over 25 countries all over the world. It has obtained approval certificates from Europe, the USA, and CDSCO from India. Advantages of Quickset over Stimulan, Grafton, Mastergraft, Infuse and Genex can be found in the article below.
Morulaa Healthtech Pvt. Ltd is the licensed importer of Graftys medical devices in India.
Quickset – Areas of Use
- Bone reconstructive surgery
- Trauma surgeries
- Fractures repair – hip, pelvis, and complex fractures.
- Joint surgeries
- Tibial deformation repair
The cement provides an ideal condition for the bone to reconstruct by being osteoconductive, porous, and permeable. The Quickset bone void filler fills bone defects and is resorbed and replaced by a healthy new bone.
Features of Quickset
The preparation is user-friendly as it requires no mixing and the total preparation time does not exceed 2 minutes.
The cement can be applied manually or by injecting using a gun of delivery which gives the surgeons more ease of handling. The composition of it containing polymer makes it injectable and improves cohesiveness. The porosity of this synthetic bone graft substitute is at 70% which makes it highly porous and has an interconnected pore network. This pore network helps the colony formation of the bone cells and fluids present in the matrix as a reason promotes the growth of bone from inside.
The cancellous bone has a compressive strength between the range (145 -13535 kN/M^2). The quickset synthetic bone graft substitute also has similar mechanical properties by having similar compressive resistance as that of cancellous bone.
In India, distributors and dealers would find it easy to understand this product and help doctors understand as the application technique of the bone cement, bone void filler or synthetic bone graft substitute is user-friendly.
This product can be applied in areas like Orthopedics, Dental, and even other trauma surgeries. This information might be critical for dealers and distributors since it will help them decide which kind of surgeons and hospitals to service.
Conclusion
Quickset by Graftys is a bone cement-based bone void filler approved by CDSCO as a medical device in India. This article deals with Bone grafts, types, why it’s needed. This bone graft substitute Quickset like Stimulan, Genex, Infuse, Mastergraft, and Grafton are based on similar principles and quickset bone void filler. Quickset is an excellent bone cement that can be used to fill bone defects or voids caused by trauma and other surgical complications. It is a product imported by Morulaa and may be considered as a good alternative to other bone void fillers like Stimulan, Genex, Infuse, Mastergraft and Grafton
This information can be helpful to the dealers and distributors in India. Dealers and distributors reading this information can gain valuable understanding and details of the medical device.
