Clinical Applications
- Bone grafting during spinal fusion procedures.
- Treatment of bone defects associated with orthopedic surgery.
- Support of bone healing in selected fracture-repair procedures.

Practical Considerations
- The product may be supplied in forms such as putty or strips; the surgeon selects the form and amount based on the defect and operative technique.
- It is intended for use by trained surgical professionals with standard orthopedic or spinal bone-grafting techniques.
- The surgical team should review the product labeling for tissue-screening requirements, handling, storage, contraindications and precautions before use.
- MRI safety depends on the final implanted material and any associated hardware. The patient should provide the implant record to the MRI facility before imaging.
- As with other human tissue-derived graft products, risks may include infection, inflammatory or immune reactions, inadequate bone healing and the need for additional surgery.
