Granulab: Hydroxyapatite Granular Bone Graft

 

 

 

GranuMaS® is an osteoconductive granular synthetic bone graft material based on calsium phosphate hydroxyapatite. It is an excellent alternative material for the repair of bone defects due to the hydroxyapatite that is currently being used as a bioactive coating on many surgical and dental implants such as in the Dental, ENT, Orthopaedics and Maxillofacial specialties.

 

 

GranuMaS® is using a patented process (Malaysian Patent Pending P1 2004 0748). It is derived from pure commercial chemicals and Malaysian limestone and has fulfilled all of the criteria required under the ASTM F1185-88 (1993) Standard for Composition of Hydroxyapatite (HA) for Surgical Implants.

 

This product has gone through extensive biocompatibility and safety evaluation and has also demonstrated excellent biofunctionality in clinical trials and successfully screened through various in vitro and in vivo tests, which were all conducted with the collaboration of respectable institutions of higher learning in Malaysia. Its highly osteoconductive properties promotes good callus formation and the subsequent healing of bone defects.
