AlloSource launches new micro fibres demineralised bone allograft for spine procedures

AlloSource has announced the addition of AlloFuse micro fibres demineralized bone allograft for use in spinal, foot, and ankle or other orthopaedic procedures.

The micro fibres are made of 100% demineralized cortical bone and do not contain any form of carrier. The company says that the product can be formed into tightly compacted shapes to fill small boney voids and provide an osteoconductive scaffold with osteoinductive potential to support bone fusion.

The short fibre size eliminates cutting or mincing, reducing unnecessary work, as well as time in the operating room and may be used in combination with biologics or autograft tissue as directed by the surgeon, add AlloSource.

Kevin Whitten, AlloSource’s chief commercial officer, said: “Based on surgeon feedback, we realized there was a need for shorter demineralized bone fibres to answer an unmet need for our customers and their patients. Maximizing the gift of tissue donation, we developed micro fibres that are moldable and formable, allowing surgeons to maintain desired shapes, especially in small spaces.”
