Innovative Bone Graft Delivery System for Orthopedic Surgery

A novel preloaded syringe improves upon conventional delivery methods of bone graft substitutes during orthopedic surgeries.

The NovaBone Putty MIS Delivery System is designed for use in minimally invasive orthopedic procedures. The system is composed of a syringe preloaded with ready-to-use NovaBone Putty, and 6-mm diameter cannulae at varying lengths. The system works by delivering an osteoconductive matrix while signaling and stimulating osteoblastic activity to the orthopedic surgical site. The NovaBone Putty MIS Delivery System is a product of Novabone (Jacksonville, FL, USA; novabone.com), and has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in orthopedic surgeries of the extremities, the pelvis, and posterolateral spine.


NovaBone Putty is a versatile bone graft substitute that is ready to use out of the package with exceptional handling characteristics. The specially formulated consistency means it can be packed into any size or shape void, without sticking to surgical gloves. The binder resists migration during irrigation, allowing the bioactive component to stay as placed.

"The launch of the MIS Delivery System will be just the beginning of products our company will be offering to spine surgeon, neurosurgeons, and orthopedic surgeons,” said Art Wotiz, President of NovaBone Products. "As a growing medical device company, we will introduce a number of new products this year and through 2011 that are based on advancements in bioengineered medical technology.”
