The calcium matrix, which is already available in the UK, the European Union (EU), Canada, Mexico and Saudi Arabia, has the ability to carry antibiotics such as vancomycin, gentamicin and tobramycin to the infection site.

Surgeons can use STIMULAN to administer a wide spectrum of ‘off-the-shelf’ antibiotics at optimal concentrations to support individualised treatment plans for each patient.

Furthermore, the calcium matrix aims to deliver high concentrations of antibiotics at the point of infection, helping in reduced reinfection rates, fewer hospital readmissions and enhanced patient outcomes.
