HERAFILL®, which contains antibiotics, is a unique bone void filling material - a form of bone subsitute. As bone filler, it is suitable for the complex requirements in the treatment of bone defects. Thanks to the addition of the proven broad-spectrum antibiotic gentamicin, HERAFILL® enables efficient infection management for a wide range of indications:
- High concentration, local gentamicin release within the first 72h protecting against bacterial colonisation
- Complete biodegradation occurs within a few months
- Osteoconductive properties support bone growth
- Can be combined with other materials, such as spongiosa and bone chips
- Calcium carbonate buffers the pH in the wound to physiological levels and enhances antibiotic protection
