The Capset Calcium Sulphate Bone Graft Barrier from Lifecore can be used as a resorbable barrier over bone grafting material to aid bone regeneration. When mixed it forms a soft paste that is easily molded and shaped over the operative area. Once set it forms a hard strong cover that resorbs in about 6–8 weeks.
Available from Trycare Ltd each Capset Kit contains a proprietary formulation of Calcium Sulphate and an accelerating solution.
They are available in one, two or three gram packs, which also include a 0.25 gram reserve pack which can act as a binder when mixed with autogenous, allogenic or synthetic bone grafting materials.
For use around the necks of newly placed implants, a special 6 Pack containing 6 × 0.25 gram cups is also available.
