Actifuse ABX logo

Actifuse ABX is a unique, moldable, cohesive and versatile bone graft.

Actifuse ABX provides the performance of Actifuse with ease of use - saving time, improving graft placement and intra-operative retention.

Mouldable biostimulative bone graft

Designed for use in a range of spine and orthopaedic procedures

Actifuse ABX is a mouldable, cohesive and versatile bone graft that provides:

Optimized, osteostimulative scaffold that accelerates bone formation^{1, 2, 3}
Excellent handling that saves time and improves placement
Consistent quality bone graft designed to stay at the operative site^{4, 5}
Cell mediated scaffold resorption leads to rapid, effective repair³

Key Design Features 6,7,8
96% of Actifuse ABX is scaffold, unlike DBMs where the carrier can occupy upto 40% of the graft volume ABX is resistant to irrigation, will not float, disperse or disintegrate ABX can withstand muscle load compression Migration of ABX out of the graft site is not observed in clinical trials or clinical practice when used as directed ABX is synthetic, free of pathogens and consistent batch to batch unlike DBMs whose quality and consistency can vary from one donor to the other

Indications for Use: Europe and Australia

Bone graft substitutes are intended to be used in place of corticocancellous, or cancellous allograft or autograft bone. The mechanical environment for such uses experience either low load requirements or compression. Typical surgical applications for bone graft substitutes are:-

Small void filling, e.g. after removal of a small bone tumour or following bone fracture reduction or in osteotomies and plastic surgery
Spinal fusion, where a cage or screw fixation device is used to relieve the graft site from physiological loads

It is not intended to be used in place of cortical strut allograft bone where high tensile, torsion and/or bending strength are required. The products are used by orthopaedic surgeons in place of allograft bone (bone from humans stored in bone banks).
