DEXGEL Bone kit
HYDROXYAPATITE
DEXGEL Bone is an injectable, porous, and osteoconductive bone substitute composed of two phases: (i) dextrin hydrogel matrix, DEXGEL — polymeric phase and (ii) BL®, composed mostly of hydroxyapatite, having a percentage of tricalcium phosphate — ceramic phase. The DEXGEL Bone kit is composed of (i) four vials: one with the ODEX solution, another with ADH (both dissolved in PBS) and 2 vials of BL® with 0.5 g each; (ii) a syringe with needle, to transfer ADH solution and subsequent mixing of all components; and (iii) a second syringe to apply the final formulation into the alveolar socket. Components must be mixed at the time of surgery by the medical team, according to a specific protocol (Fig. DEXGEL Bone preparation procedureFigure Timeline for DEXGEL Bone preparation and handling
