Medtronic has announced the distribution of Nanostim Synthetic Bone Paste for use in surgical procedures in the European Union and other markets outside the USA. |

The nanohydroxyapatite-based bone Graft substitute provides a supporting structure for new bone formation, aiding bone healing in places where voids or gaps exists in the bone. Nanostim Synthetic Bone Paste can be filled into defects regardless of their shape and stays in place keeping close contact to the surrounding bone.
The patented Nanostim Synthetic Bone Paste, consisting of highly pure microscopic crystals called nanocrystals, does not harden after application in bone voids. Nanostim Synthetic Bone Paste is also free of exothermic heating, a chemical reaction in the body that can lead to the destruction of bone cells.
“Our patients achieved successful bone formation when we used Nanostim Synthetic Bone Paste,” said Reinhart Schnettler, MD, Department of Trauma Surgery, University Hospital Giessen-Marburg in Giessen, Germany. “It is easy to handle in the operating room and its osteoconductive properties make it an effective bone void filler.”
