Puros Cortico-Cancellous Particulate Allograft: Simplify the Grafting Process

![]](https://osseonews.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/CCMixJar_Powder.jpg)Zimmer Dental Inc., a leading provider of dental oral rehabilitation products and a subsidiary of Zimmer Holdings, Inc., is pleased to announce the availability of Puros® Cortico-Cancellous Particulate Allograft, an anatomic-based mixture of cortical and cancellous bone, designed to provide clinicians with the best of both worlds in an effort to simplify the grafting process.

Composed of 70 percent cortical and 30 percent cancellous bone, Puros Cortico-Cancellous does not require on-site mixing, and retains its osteoconductive properties due to the preservation of the natural bone matrix collagen and mineral composition, trabecular pattern, and original porosity. The particulate mixture’s quick hydration, 5-year shelf life, and room-temperature storage requirement also add to its ease of use, while two available size options are intended to conveniently accommodate various defect dimensions.

Clinicians can feel confident in the safety and performance of Puros Cortico-Cancellous due to fact that it carries the highly regarded Puros name. Each single donor vial of the bone grafting material has been sterilized and preserved with the proprietary Tutoplast® Process, which assures the highest standard of tissue safety and quality with minimal risk of disease transmission. This process, used for over 40 years and in more than three million procedures, preserves the valuable collagen matrix and tissue integrity while inactivating pathogens, and gently removing unwanted materials such as cells, antigens, and viruses.

“Zimmer Dental continues to demonstrate a strong commitment to improving patients’ lives,” said Harold C. Flynn, Jr., Zimmer Dental President. “With Puros Cortico-Cancellous Particulate Allograft, we have truly combined the best of both worlds. This bone grafting, hard tissue solution resolves an unmet need among clinicians who previously had to create their own mixtures, chair-side. By providing world-class dental implants, tried-and-true restorative options, and cutting-edge regenerative offerings, we give clinicians the flexibility to serve their patients with the most comprehensive portfolio in the industry.”
