Blocks, Dowels & Cortical Struts |
 |

Blocks, dowels and struts bone grafts cut into specific
sizes and shapes. These are grafts that are generally not possible to
obtain as autografts. We can also create custom made grafts (e.g., wedges,
short sections, etc.) for specific applications.

Blocks,
Dowels and Cortical Struts should be kept
frozen (at least at -20°C) until ready for use.
If stored at -20°C (or in a standard household
freezer), they should be used within 6 months of
receipt. If stored at -40°C or colder, the grafts
can be stored for 5 years. |
