What It Is
FDA-Cleared Indications
- Use as a bone graft substitute to aid bone regeneration during orthopedic surgery.
- Use when bone graft material is needed to support healing in procedures involving bone repair or fusion.
Clinical Applications
- Bone grafting during spinal fusion procedures.
- Support of bone healing after fracture repair.
- Use during orthopedic reconstruction procedures when graft material is needed.
- Use with standard orthopedic implants and surgical techniques when additional graft material is indicated.
Practical Considerations
- Sygnal DBM is available in different forms and sizes; the surgeon selects the format appropriate for the defect and procedure.
- It may be used with other bone graft materials or orthopedic implants when clinically appropriate.
- Because it is derived from processed human bone tissue, it must be handled, stored and prepared according to the manufacturer’s instructions and tissue-bank requirements.
- MRI safety depends on any accompanying implant or delivery system; the DBM material itself is not typically the component that creates an MRI hazard, but the complete implanted construct should be evaluated.
- Contraindications and precautions may include infection at the surgical site, inadequate soft-tissue coverage, or patient factors that impair bone healing. The product labeling and surgeon’s assessment should guide use.
