SIGNIFY™ Bioactive Bone Void Filler
Product Overview
SIGNIFY™ Bioactive’s components are designed to recruit and signal osteoblasts that help promote bone formation. SIGNIFY™ provides an osteoconductive matrix for new bone growth and contains activating chemistry that attracts and stimulates bone cells.
Features and Benefits
Cell Recruitment and Signaling
The regeneration of damaged tissue involves the migration and proliferation of osteoblasts to the graft site. Bioglass recruits these cells and stimulates the production of growth factors that amplify the activity of osteoblasts responsible for bone formation.1, 2, 3
No Preparation Necessary
SIGNIFY™ may be used right out of the syringe without mixing with autograft or BMA.
Exceptional Handling
The moldability of SIGNIFY™ allows it to be shaped and sized to fit an osseous void.
