FIBERGRAFT™ BG Morsels - Bone Graft Substitute is indicated only for bony voids or gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. FIBERGRAFT™ BG Morsels is indicated to be gently packed into bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system (i.e., posterolateral spine, extremities and pelvis). These defects may be surgically created osseous defects or osseous defects created from traumatic injury to the bone. The product provides a bone void filler that resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process. FIBERGRAFT™ BG Morsels must be used with autogenous bone marrow aspirate and autograft in the posterolateral spine. FIBERGRAFT™ BG Morsels is not indicated for use in load-bearing applications; therefore, standard internal or external stabilization techniques must be followed to obtain rigid stabilization.

The FIBERGRAFT™BG Morsels provide an osteoconductive, resorbable, biocompatible bone graft substitute that is to be gently packed into defect sites. The FIBERGRAFT™BG Morsels are made from crystalline 45S5 bioactive glass. Each granule of BG Morsels is created from a matrix of bioactive glass fibers and microspheres. Bioactive glass is defined as a group of glasses that has a compositional range that allows the formation of hydroxyapatite (HA) as a surface layer when exposed to an aqueous phosphate-containing solution such as simulated body fluid. The HA layer that forms in an aqueous phosphate-containing solution plays a significant role in forming a strong bond with natural bone. The granules provide an ultra-porous scaffold for desired biological response and improved handling characteristics, while optimizing radiopacity and resorption. BG Morsels are generally spherical in appearance and provided in granular form. The matrix is flash sintered to form a porous shell at its surface, which creates the generally spherical structure of the granules, while maintaining a level of porosity within each granule.
