AMPLEX™is designed to facilitate foot and ankle fusion surgery. AMPLEX™ is an osteobiologic bone graft substitute that combines BioSET's proprietary B2A growth factor mimetic with a ceramic scaffold/carrier. B2A is a synthetic peptide that mimics the effect of bone morphogentic protein (BMP-2) on bone growth and healing processes. In addition to this foot and ankle study, the AMPLEX™ osteobiologic device also is being investigated in lumbar spine fusion with approximately 35 patients enrolled in pilot clinical studies in both the United States and Canada.
