New Treatment for Bone Bleeding

Made of water-soluble alkylene oxide copolymers, Ostene is completely synthetic and does not react with the body's chemistry, reducing the risk of infection and allergic reactions. It allows the bone to heal without causing an inflammatory response, and is eliminated from the body within 48 hours after surgery. The product has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Ostene is manufactured by Ceremed (Los Angeles, CA, USA).

Beeswax remains at the surgical site indefinitely and may induce an inflammatory response even 10 years after surgery. The number of bacteria needed to produce a bone infection is reduced 10,000 times in the presence of beeswax, and it also prevents new bone formation and bone union. Once covered with beeswax, a bone will not regenerate.
