Veterinary Bone Graft | Veterinary Products

Osteoallograft® Orthomix® is natural, real bone allograft designed specifically for veterinary use. It consists of osteoinductive Demineralized Bone Matrix (DBM) and osteoconductive cancellous bone chips. Using bone allograft allows you to avoid autograft procurement and associated morbidity risks. Also, because it not only provides osteoconductive scaffold but also native, osteoinductive growth factors (BMPs), you will achieve faster and stronger bone healing compared with using bone substitutes. [1]

The demineralization of allograft during tissue processing allows for immediate access to the growth factors (BMPs) inherent in natural bone when it is placed into the surgery site. This results in an immediate beginning of the healing process and helps to make allograft as effective as autograft. [2-4]
Osteoallograft Orthomix is professional-grade allograft:

• Processed aseptically meeting USP guidelines for sterility
• Acellular and processed by methods that reduce immunogenicity, which eliminates concerns about immune reactions and the need for any type of patient matching.
• Our production practices are GMP and Good Tissue Practices compliant and modeled after human tissue banking standards
• Our stringent Quality Assurance Program provides confidence and consistency in our products

Indications

Use Osteoallograft® Orthomix® for:

• Fracture repair
• Mal- or non-union cases
• Arthrodesis procedures
• Bone loss
• TTAs and TPLOs [2,5]
• Any other application where bone graft is needed

Veterinarian & Patient Benefits

Why graft:

• Bone will heal faster when voids are filled with bone graft, because it provides osteoconductive scaffold for host bone to grow on and native, osteoinductive BMPs that attract osteoblasts to the site. Even when there are no voids, bone graft provides these same advantages. [2,6,7]
• Faster healing not only gets your patients back to normal activity faster it also increases the chances of a successful healing outcome [2,6,7]

Why use allograft:

• Reduces your OR time and cost, because it allows you to skip autograft harvesting [8]
• Eliminates morbidity risks associated with the collection of bone autograft. Studies show a morbidity rate of over 25% in humans [9]
• In many cases, allows you to use more bone graft than you can procure from the patient. Allograft can also be used to augment insufficient quantities of autograft.
• Studies show that allografts are as effective as autograft in bone healing [2-4]
• Achieves faster and stronger bone healing than bone substitutes due to osteoinductive growth factors (BMPs) inherent in natural bone.[1] To see Grafting Options Comparison Chart, click here.

About VTS

Veterinary Transplant Services, Inc. (VTS) is the world’s first animal tissue bank. VTS provides veterinarians with animal bone and soft tissue allografts for animal use. Using professionally-procured bone allograft saves them from having to procure the patient’s own bone when bone material is needed. This decreases their OR time & cost and spares the patient a second operative site.

Orthopedic surgeons in human medicine have been confidently using bone allografts for decades. As a veterinary version of a human tissue bank, VTS brings this significant medical advancement to veterinarians and are proud of having been doing so successfully since 1996.

Besides the most commonly used Osteoallograft® Orthomix®, cancellous blocks, bone sections, and whole bones are also available for spinal fusions, severe fractures, and limb sparing procedures.
