Ceremed's OSTENE(R) Improves Bone Fusion and Healing After Surgery, New Study Shows
Date:5/13/2008

after surgery.

Ostene(R) offers an alternative to bone wax without the added risk. Ostene(R) is a sterile mixture of water-soluble alkylene oxide copolymers formulated into an affordable, easy-to-handle synthetic bone hemostasis material. The use of Ostene in cardiac surgery may help reduce serious post-operative complications, such as the separation of the sternum or sternal wound infection. Wax-like and malleable during application, the biomaterial dissolves rapidly and is eliminated from the body unmetabolized within days after surgery. Ostene(R) is used in cardiac, orthopedic, and oral surgery and in neurosurgery.

Ostene(R) is the only product specifically designed to stop bone bleeding in surgery that will not interfere with bone healing or increase the risk of surgical infections. Other applications under development include the use of Ostene(R) as a safe, soluble delivery vehicle for a variety of therapeutic agents, from antibiotics to bone growth stimulants for enhanced healing. Ostene(R) is authorized for sale both in the U.S. and in the European market.

Commenting on the study Ceremed's President and CEO Tadeusz Wellisz, M.D., said, "The results confirm the effectiveness and safety of Ostene. Building on our alkylene oxide copolymers' unique properties, we are currently developing the next generation of Ostene(R), otherwise known as AOC, available in various levels of viscosity, from paste to a hard solid. AOC has great potential as an inert, soluble carrier that delivers a broad range of therapeutic agents to bone defects, from antibiotics to growth stimulants, without increasing risk to patient. We are able to custom-manufacture compounds using each OEM proprietary material in combination with the AOC carrier."
