AlgOss<\/span>
\nRegenerating bone naturally<\/h2>\n

Phycografts derived from red algae<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the early 80\u2018s, Professor Dr. Dr. Rolf Ewers and his team in Kiel, Germany started a project for a natural porous, biological but non-animal alternative<\/strong> for bone grafting. In this context, he came up with marine red algae<\/strong>, which form a unique interconnected microporous lime skeleton to stabilise the plant structure (cell walls) similar to human dentin and bone. This was the nativity of the algae derived (phycogenic)<\/strong> inorganic, interconnected-microporous calcium phosphate bone grafts.<\/p>\n

At that time, the pure hydroxyapatite granulate was developed from red algae. This first plant derived hydroxyapatite (HA, AlgOss 100) proved to be an osseoconductive, almost completely resorbable<\/strong> biomaterial, safe and effective<\/strong> in clinical use since 1989, firstly sold by Friedrichsfeld GmbH under the brand name Algipore.<\/p>\n

The biphasic bone graft AlgOss 20-80 is the further development of the pure phycogenic HA in order to accelerate the resorption of this natural material<\/strong>. It is a composite consisting of 20 % hydroxyapatite and 80 % \u00df-tricalcium phosphate.<\/p>\n

Due to their natural origin, the chemical composition of the biological AlgOss<\/strong> products is very similar<\/strong> to the mineral part of human bone<\/strong> in regards to the calcium phosphate and trace elements content.<\/p>\n

In addition, they offer a highly porous<\/strong> guiding structure\/matrix as scaffold<\/strong> which is gradually degraded<\/strong> and replaced by newly formed vital bone<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
