Contour BA Moldable Bioactive Bone Graft
STRIP
Moldable Bioactive Bone Graft
Contour® Strip is a moldable bioactive synthetic bone graft designed for easy handling and reliable defect filling.
PUCK
Moldable Bioactive Bone Graft
Contour® Puck is a versatile bioactive synthetic bone graft, easily shaped to fit defect sites and support consistent bone healing.
Contour® BA Moldable Bioactive Bone Graft Matrix is composed of carbonate apatite anorganic bone mineral, bioactive glass, and Type I collagen that can be molded to fit any size bone defect. It is an osteoconductive, bioactive, porous implant that allows for bony ingrowth across the graft site. The bone graft matrix is slowly resorbed and replaced by new bone tissue during the natural healing process.
Key Benefits
2 for 1 Versatility
Upon hydration, Contour® BA can be used in its original shape or optionally molded into alternative shapes to address the unique contours of each defect.
Handling
Combined with either autogenous bone marrow, autograft or saline. Moldable, flexible, absorbent, resists migration upon irrigation.
Absorbency
Features
Our Bioactive Solutions
Significant technological advancements have been made in mineralized collagen bone grafting over the last 2 decades. Predictable resorption rates, similar to human bone, are now attained by optimizing the type, form and content of mineral and bioglass in the collagen matrix. Such developments have allowed us to create a graft with controlled remodeling and desired handling characteristics.
Our Bioactive Glass Component
30% Bioactive glass is incorporated into Contour® BA, within the suggested critical range of 5-40% for optimal osteoblast growth and calcium phosphate formation in a composite.
Our Composition
Our bioactive composite bone graft matrix is a combination of three components: carbonate apatite anorganic bovine bone mineral, 45S5 bioactive glass, and Type I Collagen. When combined, they provide an optimal scaffold to support the body’s natural ability to regenerate new bone.
Our Granule Size
A narrow particle size distribution of 100-300µm is utilized to provide a more controlled rate of ion dissolution & surface reactivity, and a more consistent rate of bone bonding & proliferation. This exemplary particle size (100-300µm) is due to the fact that larger sized particles may not fully resorb and smaller particles may resorb away quickly. This can impede the upregulation of osteoprogenitor cells.

What is Contour® BA composed of?
Contour® BA is a bioactive composite bone graft matrix composed of 30% 45S5 bioactive glass, 20% bovine type I collagen, and 50% bovine anorganic bone mineral (carbonate apatite). This combination provides an optimal scaffold to support the body’s natural ability to regenerate new bone.
How is Contour® BA used in medical applications?
Contour® BA is used as a synthetic bone graft substitute in spinal fusion procedures. It is an osteoconductive, bioactive, porous implant that allows for bony ingrowth across the graft site and is slowly resorbed and replaced by new bone tissue during the natural healing process.
Where is Contour® BA used?
The Puck form is designed for interbody applications, and the Strip form is designed for the posterolateral spine. Both forms can be molded to fit any size bone defect.
What sizes does the Contour® Puck come in?
The Contour® Puck is available in 2.5 cc and 5 cc sizes. Its versatile bioactive design makes it easy to shape to fit defect sites and support consistent bone healing.
What sizes does the Contour® Strip come in?
The Contour® Strip is available in 4 cc, 8 cc, 10 cc, and 16 cc sizes. The moldable design supports easy handling and reliable defect filling in the posterolateral spine.
Which is the longest Contour® Strip?
The 10 cc Contour® Strip is the longest at 6.25 x 2 x 0.8 cm. Its length is well suited to defects that span larger anatomical areas.
How long does Contour® BA take to hydrate?
Contour® BA hydrates within 15 seconds. Its bioactive composite matrix is nearly 2x more absorbent than Vitoss® Bioactive Foam, based on the ml/g absorbency ratio.
What can be used to hydrate Contour® BA?
Sterile saline, blood, bone marrow aspirate, or bone marrow concentrate can be used at the surgeon’s discretion. Upon hydration, Contour® BA can be used in its original shape or optionally molded into alternative shapes to address the unique contours of each defect.
