Grid-Like Format of Mesh Cathode Provides Multiple Points of Contact on Host Bone
The innovative mesh cathode of the OsteoGen-M mesh cathode offers increased surface area and a scaffolding effect designed to increase contact between graft material and fracture ends in the management of nonunions. Orthopaedic surgeons may find this product particularly appropriate for high-risk patients and as an adjunct for re-do bone graft surgery.
