for orthopedic surgerygranules

Unique technology, different indications In the last years, following changes in references normative scenario, IBI consolidated two different certifications for SmartBone® according to the class of clinical indications of use: SmartBone® ORTHO for orthopaedic and SmartBone® for dental. SmartBone® ORTHO is osteoconductive, biocompatible, biodegradable and its microstructure has a porosity that promotes a fast and effective bone regeneration, thus successfully allowing its use in orthopaedic and spine surgery.
