genex is a catalyst for bone healing. It complements the body’s natural healing processes and encourages normal bone structure to be restored at a steady rate. Over 12 months, the graft matrix is completely absorbed and replaced by bone.1,2 No foreign artifacts are left behind to impair structural integrity.
genex is a precisely balanced β-tricalcium phosphate/calcium sulfate hemihydrate compound with distinct design properties:
genex provides a powerful scaffold for accelerated bone restoration and helps to hinder soft tissue ingrowth:
genex contains no hydroxyapatite. HA can only be absorbed at 1–2% per year5
Large animal model. Decalcified histology H & E stain
genex restores bone to normal trabecular structure in 36 weeks1
genex is versatile and easy to prepare. It comes as a paste or putty in a range of volumes. The paste sets within 15 minutes, at body temperature, and can be digitally implanted or injected in difficult-to-reach sites, or minimally invasive procedures.
Setting paste for molding, injecting and packing
Setting paste for difficult to reach surgical sites
Non-setting putty that requires no mixing
