AP-010653

PRO-DENSE Graft is a synthetic biomaterial. Combining calcium sulfate with calcium phosphate, has result​ed in a composite graft that is delivering where other materials may fall short.
​​
PRO-DENSE Graft has a triphasic resorption profile that provides an ideal environment​ for the direct deposition of bone resulting in a slow-resorbing matrix that supports healing across the defect.​†

†Growth factor binding based on in vitro data of BMP-2 and VEGF. Data on file.​

Faster than Autograft*
The accelerated rate of healing of the PRO-DENSE graft treated defects compared to those treated with autograft is principally evident by the higher density bone (i.e., 170% average increase in area fraction of new bone compared to autograft at 13 weeks) and superior average mechanical properties at 13 weeks.

Denser than Autograft*
Histomorphometry reveals that the amount of newly regenerated bone of the PRO-DENSE injectable graft treated defects at 13 weeks demonstrated a statistically significant 170% average increase in new bone formation versus defects treated with autograft. PRO-DENSE injectable graft new bone area fraction is on average 170% denser than autograft at 13 weeks.

Stronger than Autograft*
The newly regenerated bone in the PRO-DENSE injectable graft treated defects exhibited a 645% average increase in compressive strength at 13 weeks versus defects treated with autograft.

Intra-operative strength
Approximately 40MPa initial compressive strength (at 2 hours, wet conditions)* Reliable/consistent resorption 50% slower than pure calcium sulfate

*All claims are based on a critically sized canine proximal humerus defect model. It is unknown how results from the canine model compare with clinical results in humans.

Composite Makeup

75% CaSO4

  • Primary osteoconductive filler
  • Resorbs first primarily through simple dissolution to allow early vascular infiltration
25% CaPO4 (brushite and granular TCP)

  • Osteoclastic resorption
  • Secondary porous scaffold that is resorbed after primary filler
  • TCP granules are resorbed in the third and final phase

How PRO-DENSE Works

(Approximately six times faster than in vivo canine model)

Mechanism of Action


PRO-DENSE Graft has a triphasic resorption profile that provides an ideal environment​ for the direct deposition of bone resulting in a slow-resorbing matrix that supports healing across the defect.​†

The following illustrations describe the basic steps in the process of new bone formation.

1. Angiogenesis is a key early event. The CaSO4 of the implant resorbs first, revealing a porous calcium phosphate scaffold conducive to vascular infiltration.

2. The resulting brushite/TCP scaffold with interconnecting pores binds free proteins such as VEGF and BMP-2 at the implant/defect interface.†

3. Resorption of the PRO-DENSE scaffold releases bound proteins. Active proteins recruit cells to the implant surface.†

4. Growth factors in the implant/defect interface region, including BMPs, stimulate proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells.

5. Differentiated osteoblasts lay down osteoid which then mineralizes to become newly woven bone.

6. The principles of Wolff’s Law drive remodeling

Pre-Clinical Findings


Pre-clinical findings demonstrate that PRO-DENSE™ Bone Graft is stronger, faster, and more dense bone vs. Autograft.*

STRONGER NEW BONE*

Mechanical properties at 13 and 26 weeks: At 13 weeks, PRO-DENSE regenerates new bone with compressive strength that is almost six times vs. autograft, well over ten times vs. allograft CBM, and over three times greater than normal, unoperated bone. The 26 week mechanical results also demonstrate that this quality new bone is remodeling to a more normal state.*

FASTER, DENSER BONE REGENERATION*

Histology at 13 weeks: The PRO-DENSE specimen (middle) demonstrated consistently denser and thicker trabeculae vs. autograft (left) and Cancellous Bone Matrix (right) at the same time point. Basic Fuchsin and Toluidine Blue, 75x.

FASTER THAN AUTOGRAFT*: The accelerated rate of healing of the PRO-DENSE graft treated defects compared to those treated with autograft is principally evident by the higher density bone (i.e., 170% average increase in area fraction of new bone compared to autograft at 13 weeks) and superior average mechanical properties at 13 weeks.

PRO-DENSE injectable graft new bone area fraction is on average 170% denser than autograft at 13 weeks.
