Compared to the presence on the market of bone substitutes of bovine origin
treated at high temperatures or produced with raw materials from other sources
(porcine, equine, synthetic), at UBGEN® we enhance the winning characteristics
of the bovine bone substitute with the Thermagen innovative production process
at low temperatures. Thanks to this protocol, we are able to avoid the so-called
“ceramization” of the bone substitute, thus ensuring its total resorption and giving it
high biocompatibility as well as adequate macro/microporosity.
The decellularization process of the Thermagen raw material was developed by a
team of internal and external bioengineering experts and subsequently proven by
tests performed by authoritative University Departments.
Together with the Thermagen production process, it is the choice of the raw
material that makes the difference. At UBGEN® we are aware of the details of
each step of the production chain: from the wholesomeness of the land used for
grazing, to the natural cultivation used for the production of forage, to the healthful
state of the facilities that welcome the animals themselves.
If animals live and grow well, in a healthy environment, that is respected in its
territorial characteristics, the derived products intrinsically meet the health and
safety requirements.
RE-BONE® is a bone substitute that is very similar to human bone tissue.
Therefore, it is able to create an environment favourable to chemotaxis, osteoblast proliferation and neoangiogenesis thanks to the maintenance of the native three-dimensional structure of the extracellular matrix.2
