Initially launched in the US in 2013, the bone graft is equipped with the company's patented BioSphere technology.

It was found in vivo that Biosphere Putty's spherical particle shape and optimised, bimodal size range can improve the healing potential of bioactive glass.

The bone graft is said to apply an advanced understanding of bioactive glass to induce a cellular level response and to offer a suitable physical environment for even and predictable bone ingrowth.

It is claimed to be easy to use and compatible with different bone grafting techniques.
