OverviewHydroSet is a self-setting calcium phosphate cement intended for repair of neurosurgical burr holes, contiguous craniotomy cuts and other cranial defects, and for augmentation or restoration of bony contour in the craniofacial skeleton.
Short descriptionAn easily injectable, self-setting calcium phosphate bone substitute that hardens to hydroxyapatite and remodels to natural bone.
Features and benefits- Sets in the presence of water, blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), forming hydroxyapatite that integrates with native bone.
- Formulation designed to set rapidly under normal physiological conditions to facilitate surgical workflow.
- Minimal exothermic reaction — does not generate potentially damaging heat during setting.
- Can be applied manually (hand/spatula) or injected via syringe for precise adaptation to defect geometry.
Technical specifications- Product type: Self-setting calcium phosphate cement (injectable bone substitute).
- Indications: Repair of neurosurgical burr holes, contiguous craniotomy cuts, other cranial defects; augmentation/restoration of bony contour in the craniofacial skeleton.
- Setting behavior: Hardens in presence of water, blood and CSF; rapid set under physiological conditions.
- Biological behavior: Converts to hydroxyapatite and remodels to native bone via osteoclastic resorption and new bone formation.
- Thermal properties: Low exotherm; designed to avoid thermal injury.
- Application: Manual application (hand/spatula) or syringe injection.
