Indications, Safety, and Warnings by Product Type

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON MASTERGRAFT STRIP

INDICATIONS

MASTERGRAFT® Strip is to be combined with autogenous bone marrow and is indicated for bony voids or gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure and can be used as a bone graft extender.

The device is to be gently packed into bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system (i.e., the posterolateral spine, pelvis, ilium, and/or extremities). These defects may be surgically created osseous defects or osseous defects created from traumatic injury to the bone. The device resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

This product is not intended to provide structural support during the healing process; therefore, MASTERGRAFT® Strip is contraindicated where the device is intended as structural support in the skeletal system. Conditions representing relative contraindications include:

  • Severe neurological or vascular disease.
  • Uncontrolled diabetes.
  • Hypercalcemia.
  • Pregnancy.
  • Where stabilization of fracture is not possible.
  • Segmental defects without supplemental fixation.
  • Where there is significant vascular impairment proximal to the graft site.
  • When there are systemic and/or metabolic disorders that affect the bone or wound healing.
  • Any patient unwilling to follow postoperative instructions.
  • Any case not described in the indications.

MASTERGRAFT® Strip should not be used in patients with a known history of hypersensitivity to bovine derived materials.

POTENTIAL ADVERSE EVENTS

A listing of potential adverse events includes, but is not limited to:

  • Deformity of the bone at the surgical site.
  • Fracture or extrusion of MASTERGRAFT® Strip with or without generation of particulate debris.
  • Wound complications including hematoma, site damage, infection, bone fracture, and other complications common to any surgical procedure.
  • Incomplete, or lack of, osseous ingrowth into bone void, as possible with any bone filler.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

A successful result is not always achieved in every surgical case. This fact is especially true in spinal surgery where many extenuating circumstances may compromise the results.

As with any surgical procedure, care should be demonstrated in treating patients with preexisting conditions that may impact the success of the surgical procedure. This includes patients with bleeding disorders of any etiology, long-term steroidal therapy, or immunosuppressive therapy, or high dosage radiation therapy.

MASTERGRAFT® Strip does not possess sufficient mechanical strength to support reduction of a defect site prior to soft and hard tissue ingrowth. Rigid fixation methods are recommended as needed to ensure stabilization of the defect. Complete postoperative wound closure is essential.

Use this device as supplied and in accordance with the handling and use information provided.

This device was designed for single patient use only. Do not reuse, reprocess, or resterilize this product. Reuse, reprocessing, or resterilization may compromise the structural integrity of the device and/or create a risk of contamination of the device, which could result in patient injury, illness, or death.

Warning: Never use this device if the packaging is compromised.

PHYSICIAN NOTE: Although the physician is the learned intermediary between the company and the patient, the important medical information given in this document should be conveyed to the patient.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON MASTERGRAFT PUTTY

INDICATIONS

MASTERGRAFT® Putty combined with either autogenous bone marrow, and/or sterile water, and/or autograft is indicated as a bone void filler for bony voids or gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. Additionally, MASTERGRAFT® Putty can be used with autograft as a bone graft extender. MASTERGRAFT® Putty is to be gently packed into bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system (e.g., the posterolateral spine, pelvis, ilium, and/or extremities). These defects may be surgically created osseous defects or osseous defects created from traumatic injury to the bone. MASTERGRAFT® Putty resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

  • Pregnancy.
  • Where stabilization of fracture is not possible.

  • Where there is significant vascular impairment proximal to the graft site.
  • When there are systemic and/or metabolic disorders that affect the bone or wound healing.
  • Any patient unwilling to follow postoperative instructions.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON THE MASTERGRAFT GRANULES

INDICATIONS

MASTERGRAFT® Granules may be used alone or in combination with autograft to provide a bone void filler that is resorbed/remodeled and is replaced by host bone during the healing process. MASTERGRAFT® Granules is packed into bony voids or gaps to fill and/or augment dental oral/maxillofacial bony tissue. These defects may be surgically created osseous defects or osseous defects created from traumatic injury to the bone.

Procedures specific to MASTERGRAFT® Granules include:

  • Filling of dental extraction sockets
  • Filling of cystic defects
  • Oral/maxillofacial augmentation or reconstruction.

Procedures specific to MASTERGRAFT® Mini Granules include:
