Actifuse Shape is a unique, biostimulative bone graft that accelerates bone formation.

Actifuse Shape combines 96% microgranules with synthetic Alkylene Oxide Copolymers (AOC) and can be either placed straight into the operative site or formed to the contours of the defect. Application of pressure to Actifuse Shape, or direct warming in the surgeons’ hand, makes it pliable and shapeable. Once formed, Actifuse Shape retains its new contours as bone healing occurs.

Actifuse Shape is ready for immediate use and does not need to be mixed with blood or bone marrow aspirate.

Actifuse Shape is designed for use in a broad range of procedures*

fractured Tibia orbit repair
zygoma repair Acetabular cysts

*Actifuse Shape must be used with appropriate stabilising hardware

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).
