ChondroBLANK (new)

ChondroBLANK is a biological graft derived from equine nasal septum. The graft is made of cartilage without perichondrium, which is then chemically processed and sterilized. The main difference with the synthetic materials available on market is that Chondroblank is smooth, resistant, elastic and at the same time extremely malleable and tailorable. These unique features allow to get any shape and even different thicknesses in a single piece.

Primary applications for ChondroBLANK in maxillofacial surgery:

• Orbital floor and orbital walls reconstruction
• Reinforcement of the nasal cartilage structures
• Increase projection of the facial bones in various areas (cheekbones, forehead, chin).

ChondroBLANK demonstrates features for varying uses and applications:

• No calcification areas
• Achieve very thin sheets (through correct tailoring) which retain elasticity and the required rigidity
• ChondroBLANK is available in selection of sizes and shapes, so that it avoids the use of autologous tissue;
• With a long reabsorption time, ChondroBLANK maintains the mechanical strut and at the same time, the guided regeneration for soft and hard tissues
• During the healing process ChondroBLANK doesn’t create scars and tissue adhesions with the surroundings soft tissues. ChondroBLANK ends in the formations of an anatomically clean plan (it becomes therefore possible, in case of a second surgery, to locate the area for a possible second graft of autologous tissue);
• ChondroBLANK has a high resistance in contaminated areas with a good reaction in case of exposure of the maxillary sinus or nasal cavities;
• In case of infection in the surrounding tissues, ChondroBLANK tends to reabsorb minimising the foreign body reaction;
• With a smooth and slippery surface, ChondroBLANK doesn’t create scars/adhesions with soft tissues during healing (this feature is extremely useful in the case of orbital floor trauma, where the muscles need to move on a smooth slippery floor).
