UK-based Sirakoss has received CE-Mark clearance for the use of its new nanosynthetic bone graft substitute Osteo, which improves healing in patients who require bone fractures repair.
Synthetic bone grafts are used to fuse bones during surgery in order to correct congenital or degenerative conditions, or after a traumatic injury that has affected the healing of a bone.

Osteo leverages nanoporous technology and features an inorganic matrix that can be completely reabsorbed into the bone.
The graft substitute’s design focuses on catalysis of fast and complete bone regeneration after a fracture, as well as to support the skeletal system following corrective surgery of a degenerative or deformity condition.
Under the CE-Mark, Osteo is indicated as a bone graft material for filling voids of the skeletal system. It can be used alone or in combination with an autograft or allograft.
Sirakoss co-founder and R&D director Iain Gibson said: “We designed Osteo to address an increasing demand for a bone graft substitute that has the efficacy of autograft but overcomes the well-reported problems of donor site pain for a significant number of patients.”
