Conventional bone grafts and bone graft substitutes are associated with well-known risks as well as frequent failures and unpredictable healing. For pets, owners and surgeons, the need for a synthetic alternative is clear. Read more
Autograft
Increased surgical time and costs
Risk of infection
Anaesthetic risk
Allograft
Less effective than autograft
Risk for disease transmission
Unpredictable outcomes
Synthetic bone graft
Reduced surgical time and anaesthetic risk
Low risk of infection
Predictable bone healing
Performed at Vetsuisse Berne by Prof. Franck Forterre
A dog with a vertebral fracture suffered monoplegia, monopareses and severe pain. 7 months after treatment with Xcyte, the fracture site was completely healed and the dog was able to walk normally. more
A mix-breed dog suffered severe lameness in the right front limb due to carpal instability caused by trauma. 7 weeks after treatment with Xcyte, the dog showed no lameness. more
The promise of Xcyte is its potential to ensure complete, predictable bone healing. It’s exciting to see a growing number of cases with initial control CT scans showing confirmation of this promise.
