Product Overview
Biocompatibility
The carrier used in InterGro DBM is composed primarily of phosphatidylcholine, commonly referred to as lecithin. Lecithin is 100% natural, derived from soybeans, absorbed by the human body, and is key component of cell membranes.
Preferred Handling
InterGro DBM is stored at room temperature and is available as a 40% DBM putty, 35% DBM paste, or a 35% DBM PLUS pre-mixed with Pro Osteon® 500R granules. Because InterGro DBM is non-water soluble, it resists lavage/irrigation.
Validated Osteoinductivity
Each lot of InterGro DBM is validated for osteoinductivity (OI) via the "C2C12" assay. This ensures that only lots with verified OI are released. The lecithin carrier helps to keep the DBM in situ as compared to DBM alone.
Optimized Active DBM Content
To further enhance the osteoinductive response, the DBM content within the InterGro product has been optimized. The Nimni study2 showed a 60/40 ratio optimized ALP activity. (https://www.zimmerbiomet.com/)
