It is slated to commence at the end of this year and should enroll up to 230 patients.

The trial is primarily focused on ascertaining the efficacy of the device in healing infection at the fracture site and eliminating the requirement of surgical or non-surgical procedures to heal a fracture.

CERAMENT G’s drug-eluting properties deliver an initial ultra-high concentration of gentamicin to the bone fracture site to facilitate bone healing and promote bone remodeling.

It then delivers a longer sustainable dose above the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of many of the bacteria which could cause a deep bone infection at the fracture site.
