- Safe, biocompatible, sterile and radiopaque
- Biodegradable
- Ligamed grafts are supplied sterile and are CE-marked as Class III medical devices under Directive 93/42/EEC. Biocompatibility (in vitro and in vivo), biodegradation, bioburden and sterility tests are applied to each material.
- Visible on CT and X-ray.
- Biodegradable with complete resorption. With their optimized porous structure and chemical composition, Ligamed grafts are designed for bone healing.
- During healing, the silicate is adsorbed first; the β-TCP scaffold is then replaced by natural new bone within 4–6 months.
- The high porosity of Ligamed products supports initial clot stabilization.
- Calcium phosphate provides a conductive scaffold for blood vessels and bone-stimulating cells, with a structure very similar to the mineral component of natural bone.
- Ligamed materials contain silicate, which increases the uptake of circulating proteins and gives the graft bioactive properties.
