Puros Block Allograft Eliminates Second Surgery

For some patients, bone augmentation is the only way they can get an implant or partial dentures. Some patients are not candidates for autogenous bone harvesting. So the next best thing may be the highly biocompatible Puros Block Allograft from Zimmer Biomet. This sterile-packaged block of corticocancellous bone can be implanted in the either the mandible or maxilla. It also eliminates the need for secondary surgery, which reduces costs, pain and morbidity, and shortens healing time for the patient. A unique process called the “Tutoplast process” removes unwanted materials such as cell, antigens, and viruses, while preserving the collagen matrix and tissue integrity of the Puros Block Allograft. According to the Puros brochure, Tutoplast processed tissues have been safely used in over three million procedures. Now that’s saying something! For more information, click here.
