Intended Use

TheriGraft™ TCP Putty Bone Void Filler is indicated for use in filling the gaps or voids of osseous defects surgically created or resulting from trauma and is intended for treatment of osseous defects not intrinsic to the stability of the bone structure. The product is intended for use in defects of the skeletal system (i.e. the extremities, spine and pelvis). TheriGraft™ putty creates a network within the defect site that resorbs during healing and is replaced by bone.

Device Story

TheriGraft™ TCP Putty is a synthetic bone void filler used in surgical settings to fill osseous defects. It consists of beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) granules suspended in a poloxamer-based carrier. The putty is applied by a surgeon into the defect site, where it forms a porous, trabecular network that acts as a scaffold for bone ingrowth. Over time, the material resorbs and is replaced by natural bone tissue. The device is intended for non-load-bearing applications where the defect does not compromise the structural stability of the bone. It provides a synthetic alternative to autograft or allograft materials, potentially reducing the need for secondary harvest sites or donor tissue. Clinical utility is supported by pre-clinical canine model testing demonstrating bone ingrowth and biocompatibility.

Clinical Evidence

No human clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence supported by pre-clinical performance testing in a canine animal model. Study compared TheriGraft™ and Vitoss™; results showed similar tissue reaction, bone ingrowth, residual material, and mechanical testing outcomes.

Technological Characteristics

Synthetic β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) granules (0.1–0.4 mm diameter) in a poloxamer-based carrier. Porous trabecular structure. Sterilized via gamma irradiation. Biocompatibility and chemical safety tested per ISO 10993.

Indications for Use

Indicated for filling gaps or voids in osseous defects surgically created or resulting from trauma in the skeletal system (extremities, spine, pelvis). Intended for defects not intrinsic to bone structure stability. May be used with autogenous bone marrow.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A resorbable calcium salt bone void filler device is a resorbable implant intended to fill bony voids or gaps of the extremities, spine, and pelvis that are caused by trauma or surgery and are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance: Resorbable Calcium Salt Bone Void Filler Device; Guidance for Industry and FDA.” See § 888.1(e) of this chapter for the availability of this guidance.

The product is intended for use in defects of the skeletal system (i.e. the extremities, spine and pelvis). TheriGraft™ putty creates a network within the defect site that resorbs during healing and is replaced by bone. ## Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence The TheriGraft™ Bone Void Filler is constructed of synthetic ß-tricalcium phosphate granules (0.1 - 0.4 mm diameter) in a poloxamer based carrier. Pre-clinical performance testing conducted on TheriGraft™ and Vitoss™ in a canine animal model according to indication yielded similar results based on tissue reation, bone ingrowth, residual material, and mechanical testing. TheriGraft™ bone void filler has the same intended use and indications, the same or similar principles of overation and technological characteristics, and equivalent performance in an appropriate animal model. Therefore, TheriGraff™ Bone Void Filler is substantially equivalent to the predicate device (see Table 1).
