DirectOss Anorganic Cancellous Xenograft Granules Size: 0.25mm-1mm (0.25g)

Description:

DirectOss Anorganic Cancellous Xenograft Granules in the 0.25g configuration are designed to provide a mineralized bovine cancellous xenograft material for appropriate dental bone augmentation procedures. The product contains 0.25-1mm particles and is supplied as one 0.25g vial per box. DirectOss is described by the manufacturer as an anorganic bone mineral matrix comparable in structure to human bone. The material is identified as bovine hydroxyapatite, cancellous, and xenograft. According to the manufacturer, the material is derived from Australian bovine bone and is identified as BSE-free. Its hydrophilic characteristics allow it to absorb the patient's blood, while the interconnected macro- and microporous structure and large internal surface area are described as providing an environment that supports cell attachment and bone growth. The 0.25g configuration provides a smaller quantity option for cases where a limited amount of graft material is required. The 0.25-1mm particulate size provides a defined range for product identification and procedure planning.

The manufacturer lists DirectOss for horizontal or vertical augmentation procedures. Dental professionals should determine the appropriate quantity and particle size based on the clinical site, treatment plan, defect characteristics, and applicable instructions for use. Proper preparation, handling, placement, and post-operative management should follow established professional protocols and manufacturer recommendations. Because the product is supplied in a vial, dental teams can identify the quantity and configuration before preparing the material for a procedure. It is important to distinguish the 0.25g configuration from other DirectOss quantities, including 0.5g, 1g, and 2g options, when preparing surgical inventory. The material should be used only by appropriately trained dental professionals and only for its labeled purpose. Clinicians should review current manufacturer documentation for complete information regarding indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions, storage, handling, and use. Patient-specific requirements and professional clinical judgment should guide the selection of DirectOss and the appropriate quantity for each procedure.
