Cerament

Cerament is a synthetic, injectable, osteoconductive biomaterial, which actively promotes bone healing and is utilized as a bone substitute, when bone grafting is needed. Full remodeling to healthy bone occurs between 6 and 12 months.
Cerament is used for the treatment of fragility fractures caused by Osteoporosis, to fill bone voids or gaps caused by trauma or orthopedic surgical procedures for e.g., benign tumors, and for augmentation of fracture repair.
Cerament can be loaded with antibiotics like Gentamicin, thereby protecting bone healing in patients with bone infections
Cerament bone void filler received approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for sale in the United States in 2005 and CE-marking in 2009. Cerament spine support received its CE mark in 2008.
In September 2012, BoneSupport entered a distribution agreement with the major medical device manufacturer Biomet who have exclusive distribution rights of the Cerament bone void filler product range in the United States of America and Canada. This agreement is expected to accelerate the usage of Bonesupport’s bone void filler product line in orthopaedic operations.
