WHAT MAKES GRAFT DELIVERY DEVICES SO EFFECTIVE IN BONE REPAIR?

When it comes to bone repair, most surgeons prefer minimally invasive bone grafting where they don’t have to make many surgical incisions on their patients. This makes bone grafting a more effective bone repair method and gives surgeons more confidence when delivering bone graft in interbody cages. And this is made possible using a graft delivery device like the Graftgun®.

So, what makes these modern graft delivery devices effective in bone repair? Let’s find out.

DEVICES FOR GRAFT DELIVERY HELPS SURGEONS DELIVER THE EXACT AMOUNT OF ORTHOBIOLOGIC

Most of the bone repair that a patient would need bone grafting falls under these four clinical situations.

  • To repair new bone fractures and those that didn’t heal or respond well to initial treatment.
  • To stimulate healing of bones in a diseased joint. This is commonly referred to as fusion or arthrodesis.
  • To regenerate missing or lost bones. It may be due to trauma, infections, or bone diseases.
  • To boost bone healing and tissue regeneration around surgically implanted devices like the plates and screws used in bone alignment and artificial joint replacements — knee and hip replacements.

Surgeons use bone graft materials such as allograft tissue, autograft tissue, and xenograft tissue to repair the damaged bones. You will need to deliver the exact amount of bone graft to the disc spaces where the bone is fractured. This is where the utmost accuracy is required. To facilitate precise bone graft delivery, you will need a graft delivery device that you can comfortably use. The conventional methods of graft delivery utilize syringe, bone funnel, and cannula. Today, bone grafting technology advancements have introduced modern Graft Delivery Systems GDS®, such as the Graftgun®. These devices for graft delivery enable the surgeons to dispense different bone graft material to fill bone voids during bone graft surgery.

A GOOD GRAFT DELIVERY DEVICE FACILITATES QUICK BONE HEALING

When you use a Graftgun® when performing bone graft surgery, you’ll have a tactile feel as the graft fills the bone voids. This will help you to determine when you have dispensed enough bone graft to a surgical site. If you do not deliver sufficient bone graft to an interbody cage, endplate failure is likely to happen. The resulting nonunion will be more painful to your patient, and the damaged bones will not heal properly. On the other hand, an effective graft delivery device will ensure that you fill the bone voids with the right amount of bone graft. For instance, the Graftgun® delivers about .25cc of orthobiologic for every squeeze. Additionally, it is well-calibrated to make it easy for surgeons to know the amount of bone graft they dispense.

GRAFT DELIVERY DEVICES ENABLES SURGEONS TO POST-FILL INTERBODY CAGES IN HARD TO REACH SURGICAL SITES

For instance, the Graftgun® has a flexible tube that can easily reach bone voids that are normally hard to reach. Not only do you get easy access to the interbody cages, but you are also able to control the amount of bone graft that you dispense. More so, you can operate the Graftgun® using one hand, and this eases your operation by boosting stability and balance. Because Graft Delivery Systems GDS® enables minimally invasive surgery, the bone grafting process will be less painful to your patient. Fewer surgical incisions mean that your patient will take less time to heal besides experiencing minimum pain during the recovery process.

Today, North America has about 38,600 surgeons, going by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data. A good number of these surgeons utilize a modern graft delivery device, such as the Graftgun®, when performing bone graft surgery. Bone graft companies are working to improve bone grafting technology by coming up with new inventions that facilitate graft delivery. As a result, surgeons can perform bone graft surgeries more accurately using less invasive methods. This leads to less painful surgeries and quick healing times for your patients. You can trust the top bone graft manufacturers to supply you with quality bone graft delivery devices.
