DESCRIPTION
BIOCERA-VET® GRANULES is a synthetic, porous, biocom-
patible and bioresorbable bone substitute material for filling non-
load-bearing bone defects.
BIOCERA-VET® GRANULES is a sterile single-use product.
BIOCERA-VET® GRANULES is available in different volumes
and is presented as multipacks.
COMPOSITION
BIOCERA-VET® GRANULES is a porous, mineral bone substi-
tute material of synthetic calcium and phosphates. The calcium
phosphate phases are present with microcrystalline, calcium-
deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHA) and alpha-tricalcium phos-
phate (α-TCP), which are the main phases. The minor phase
consists of calcium hydrogen phosphate (monetite) and calcium
carbonate (calcite). The chemical composition and crystalline
structure of the final reaction product (CDHA) corresponds
largely to the mineral components of natural bone.
INDICATIONS
BIOCERA-VET® GRANULES is a synthetic, porous bone sub-
stitute material for filling non-infected bone defects in companion
animals.
TARGET SPECIES
BIOCERA-VET® GRANULES is intended for bone void filling as
add-on of bone surgeries in dogs and cats.
AREA OF APPLICATION
BIOCERA-VET® GRANULES is intended for filling or recon-
structing non-load-bearing bone defects or for filling bone de-
fects that have been sufficiently stabilized by appropriate
means.
Particular areas of application are:
 bone fractures with bone defect e.g. fractures of the tibia,
ulna, or femur
 bone fusion at a joint level – Arthrodesis e.g. carpal or tar-
sal joint
 bone defects following bone resection as corrective oste-
otomy in angular or rotational limb deformity
 bone defect following tibial tuberosity advancement (TTA)
 bone defects following resection of benign bone tumors or
bone cysts
 filling of bone defects in oral and maxillofacial surgery
 filling of spinal cages
BIOCERA-VET® GRANULES must only be applied into a well
vascularized and non-infected bone bed, in order to ensure the
formation of new bone. The correct reduction and stabilization
of fractures is to be assured through sufficient fixation.
BIOCERA-VET® GRANULES is a single-use implant material.
INSTRUCTION FOR USE
BIOCERA-VET® GRANULES is an implantable product and de-
signed for use in open surgical applications.
The BIOCERA-VET® GRANULES package contains the sterile,
ready-to-use product.
