How does Vitoss™ BA work?
Vitoss with autologous bone marrow aspirate closely resembles iliac crest autograft. Iliac crest autograft has been considered the gold standard for bone grafting and provides the three components necessary for bone formation as illustrated: scaffold, cells, and signals.

Why is ICBG the Gold Standard? |
 |
Bone marrow is a powerful biologic driver found in iliac crest autograft.
Vitoss provides a highly porous, open-interconnected structure similar to cancellous autograft that drives the three-dimensional regeneration of bone. Vitoss has an optimized structure, porosity, bioactivity and chemistry. Minimally invasive harvest of bone marrow captures stem cells and autologous signals, which when added to Vitoss™ BA creates “synthetic autograft.”
Vitoss Bioactive Mechanism of Action
Bioactivity leads to stronger, more abundant bone growth in a shorter period of time. The bioactive component of Vitoss BA bone graft immediately begins to react once implanted, releasing ionic constituents into the environment (Si+, Na+ and Ca2+). This chemical signal induces cellular attraction to the scaffold surface and increases osteoblast proliferation and protein production.
Vitoss - Fuses efficacy, safety, and cost together.
Vitoss bone graft substitute has been evaluated in more than 18 clinical studies and in over 800 patients in spinal surgery. This data demonstrates Vitoss with autologous marrow to be a viable alternative to autograft and BMP. As the leading synthetic bone graft, Vitoss has been used successfully in over 300,000 implantations worldwide. With Vitoss, spine surgeons no longer need to compromise on the selection of a bone graft. Vitoss provides the efficacy and safety surgeons demand, at a responsible cost.
