How to use Cerasorb^® successfully

1. To prepare the graft bed, bone fragments and necrotic tissue must be carefully removed before applying Cerasorb^®. Direct contact with perfused vital bone is essential for Cerasorb^®'s function as a bone regeneration material
2. The Cerasorb^® granules must be mixed with the patient's fresh blood from the defect region or with venous blood at about a 1/3 blood to 2/3 Cerasorb^® ratio before application to the defect.
3. The bone defect must be completely filled with intact granules. Strong compacting or destruction of granule structure (e. g., by crushing) must be avoided. The porous structure of the ceramic makes it possible for the bone cells and blood vessels to grow into the granule matrix, which is resorbed even from within and simultaneously substituted by the patient’s local bone.
4. Overfilling must be avoided to allow for a tension-free closure.
5. The material’s radio-opaqueness allows the healing process to be monitored.
