DBX: Demineralized Bone Matrix
MTF's family of osteoinductive DBM's may be used in conjunction with spinal fusion grafts to ensure reproducible fusion outcomes, or in conjunction with many of the MTF bone void fillers to increase osteoinductivity and promote host bone growth. DBX putty has quickly become the #1 choice of surgeons for DBM formulations.

Bone Void Fillers: Orthopaedic Allografts
MTF offers orthopaedic allograft tissues which act as bone void (defect) fillers, and structural grafts, and are available for osteo defects, trauma, tumor resection and hip and knee revisions. The osteoinductive properties of our demineralized orthopaedic allograft tissues promote bone formation, optimize healing and accelerate patient return to function. Our wide variety of tissues provides choices for simplifying surgical reconstruction and correction.

Spine (Traditional Forms)
Surgeons use MTF allografts to perform cervical fusions, lumbar fusions, and other types of spinal correction surgery – restoring spinal function and enhancing patient’s lives. MTF offers traditional spinal fusion grafts that incorporate cortical and dense cancellous structures.  From ICW’s to patella wedges, these tissue forms offer surgeons a wider variety of options that simplify surgery and meet patient needs.

Osteochondral Grafts for Cartilage Repair
MTF provides fresh refrigerated osteochondral allografts for focal or diffuse articular cartilage damage. A proprietary storage media maintains cell viability, allowing introduction of living chondrocytes to the implant site. Osteochondral allografts eliminate the pain and morbidity associated with autogenous grafting.

Meniscal Transplantation
Meniscal allografts are the treatment of choice for patients with a subtotal or total meniscectomy. They help stabilize the joint, relieve pain, maintain joint space, increase condylar contact area and absorb shock.

Synthes Spine: Precision Spinal Allografts
MTF provides surgeons with cortical fusion grafts including technique specific precision shapes. Cortical struts and shafts permit surgeons to custom shape the graft while precision grafts provide intricate design and consistent sizing. Additionally, MTF's family of osteoinductive DBM's may be used in conjunction with these grafts to ensure reproducible fusion outcomes. Surgeons use MTF allografts to perform cervical fusions, lumbar fusions and spinal corrections—restoring spinal function and enhancing patients’ lives.
