This document provides information on Pro Osteon, a bone graft substitute product offered by Biomet. It describes the various forms of Pro Osteon, including blocks and granules in resorbable and non-resorbable varieties. Pro Osteon is a porous, hydroxyapatite matrix that is osteoconductive and has a structure and chemistry similar to human bone. It has been used in over 1 million procedures since 1982 to fill bony defects and aid fusion. Pro Osteon is available in different sizes to suit small and large defects and can be combined with autograft or allograft.

2. Over 1 million times per year, Biomet helps one surgeon
provide personalized care to one patient.
The science and art of medical care is to provide the right
solution for each individual patient. This requires clinical
mastery, a human connection between the surgeon and the
patient, and the right tools for each situation.
At Biomet, we strive to view our work through the eyes of one
surgeon and one patient. We treat every solution we provide
as if it’s meant for a family member.
Our approach to innovation creates real solutions that assist
each surgeon in the delivery of durable personalized care
to each patient, whether that solution requires a minimally
invasive surgical technique, advanced biomaterials or a
patient-matched implant.
When one surgeon connects with one patient to provide
personalized care, the promise of medicine is fulfilled.
One Surgeon. One Patient.

3. Pro Osteon has been indicated as bone graft substitute.
Pro Osteon has been indicated for use in bony defect repair and
fusion. The architecture and chemical composition are similar
to human cancellous bone.
Pro Osteon is available as pure, non-resorbable, hydroxyapatite
osteoconductive matrix and as resorbable, osteoconductive
matrix consisting of a thin, 2–10 micron layer of hydroxyapatite
over a calcium carbonate core.
Biomet is offering Pro Osteon in two different porosities, each with
their own unique capacities and applications; Pro Osteon 200R
and Pro Osteon 500R.
Pro Osteon is available in both blocks and granules. There are
different blocks and granule sizes to facilitate in filling small and
large bone defects.
Pro Osteon can be easily combined with autogenous or allogenic
bone graft and is significantly resorbed in approximately 6–18
months.
With clinical data going back to 1982, Pro Osteon has an
unmatched track record among bone graft substitutes.

Pro Osteon 500 and 500R
• The 500R variant is significantly resorbed in approximately
6–18 months
• Fully interconnected porosity (280–770 microns) provides
continuous pathways for bony ingrowth
• Architecture and chemical composition similar to human
cancellous bone
• Excellent as a bone void filler to be packed into bony voids or
gaps in the skeletal system
• Requires no special handling or reconstitution and is shipped
sterile, ready-to-use
• Blocks are available in different sizes
• Pro Osteon 500 was shown in a clinical study to be equivalent to
autogenous bone graft in clinical healing patterns of metaphyseal
fracture defects1
Opened, but unused, Pro Osteon blocks or granules (unwetted), which
have not been contaminated with blood or body fluids, can be resterilized
once using standard autoclaving procedures. Resterilization of granules
in the vial requires that the screw cap be loosened adequately to allow
steam penetration.
