Abstract
Allograft bone is the material of choice for acetabular reconstruction. Cryopreserved bone tissue is difficult to use due to storage, thawing, and shaping/cutting conditions. Application of a viral inactivation process offers clear advantages in terms of ease of use and viral safety.
BIOBank’s Supercrit process, based on supercritical CO2 technology, aims to maximise safety, while also preserving the properties of the natural bone matrix and allowing for easy user-handling.
3 viral inactivation studies have been conducted on 8 different viruses, including the most resistant and emerging viruses, such as Sars-Cov-2. A comparative biomechanical study of 4 processes was also carried out measuring their impact by a non-destructive test. The results demonstrate that Supercrit has negligible impact on bone tissue structure, compared to the other methods. Overall, these studies demonstrate Supercrit’s unique ability to preserve natural bone tissue.
