Zimmer Dental adds allograft putty to regenerative portfolio

Jan. 7, 2009
Made from human allograft material, the ready-to-use Puros DBM Putty, with and without chips, offers handling and time-saving convenience for bone regeneration.

Zimmer Dental Inc., a provider of dental oral rehabilitation products and a subsidiary of Zimmer Holdings, Inc., has announced the availability of Puros Demineralized Bone Matrix Putty and Puros Demineralized Bone Matrix Putty with Chips.

The two are the latest additions to Zimmer's line of regenerative products.

Made from human allograft material, the ready-to-use Puros DBM Putty, with and without chips, offers handling and time-saving convenience for bone regeneration.

Clinicians will benefit from the premixed, moldable putty, which is packaged in a dispenser for easy extrusion and/or delivery. In addition, the pliable putty maintains its form and resists migration in a fluid environment.

Puros DBM Putty is a regenerative product that is sterilized to SAL 10-6 using low-temperature, low-dose gamma irradiation.

Furthermore, every donor lot of DBM powder used to manufacture the putty is tested for osseoinductive potential in an in vivo rat assay, and only lots of DBM powder demonstrating bone formation and no significant inflammatory response are utilized for processing.
