maxgraft® blocks are available as purely cancellous as well as uni-cortical blocks. Whenever contained defects are supposed to be regenerated, the cancellous structure enables a fast bone formation and substitution by vital bone, whereas the uni-cortical block provides more volume stability for example with augmentations outside of the contour.

The porous structure of maxgraft allows optimal graft revascularization and ensures the supply with vital cells. The properties of maxgraft® blocks encourage the migration of cells such as osteoblast and osteocytes into the surgical site. Therefore, a fast bony integration of maxgraft® blocks is facilitated.

maxgraft® blocks can, for example, be rehydrated briefly before fixation by creating a vacuum in a disposable syringe filled with sterile saline solution. If possible, mix the saline solution with the exudate serum obtained from preparing autologous platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) matrices. maxgraft® blocks consist of a mineralized collagen matrix with a residual moisture content of <10%. A rehydration may be useful especially for blocks of bigger and complex dimensions to enhance the adaptability of the material to the specific defect site.

• maxgraft® blocks should be covered by a resorbable barrier forming collagen membrane (e.g., Jason® membrane) for GBR
• This prevents resorption and ingrowth of soft tissue into the bone graft

• Depending on the defect size, the graft will be stably incorporated within 5-6 months
• Product will be degraded when not loaded after healing period
