SynOss Synthetic Mineral is an osteoconductive calcium phosphate basedbone graft material with an apatite structure similar to that of human bone.Unlike hydroxyapatite materials, SynOss' has a carbonate apatite structurewhich is comparable to the mineralized matrix structure of human bone. Thesimilarity in structure between SynOss and natural bone mineral allows forSynOss' in vivo resorption and remodeling profile to mimic that of naturalbone.
