This latest development in natural bone substitutes, like the other ACE NuOss products, supports bone growth in periodontal and oral maxillofacial defects. NuOss XC™ is a composite grafting material comprised of mineralized de-proteinated bovine granules and purified type I bovine collagen. When it is placed into a bleeding site, the material expands to a predetermined size and shape.
NuOss XC™ is available in 2 convenient forms: socket and sinus forms. Both are easy to place, prevent particle migration and saves time. The NuOss XC™ Socket comes preloaded into a delivery syringe for placement into extraction cavities. NuOss XC™ Sinus is placed without pre-hydration, into the sinus cavity after successful elevation of the sinus membrane. Expansion occurs via contact with blood or by hydration with sterile saline after implantation, allowing the NuOss XC™ to fill the entire defect.
NuOss XC™ is offered in two convenient sizes each. NuOss XC™ Socket expands to 6mm x 15mm and 9mm x 15mm. NuOss XC™ Sinus expands to 17mm x 10mm and 22mm x 12mm. Available from the ACE Surgical Supply.
