The Power of Puros® Allografts

Clinicians around the globe have counted on the Puros® family of allografts for hard tissue augmentation procedures for years.

   

The brand’s renowned reputation is based on:*

Predictable processing and configuration

Clinical use in dentistry since 1999 1-3

Collectively backed up by more than 400 scientific articles 1-5

Supporting creation of healthy, vital bone 6-9

Predictable remodeling shown in human clinical studies 10-15

Ease of use and terminal sterilization 16

Quick hydration, five-year shelf life, and storage at room temperature 16

More Studies Than Any Other Allograft5

Up to 23.7% more vital bone formation with Puros Cancellous Particulate Allograft and Puros Cortical Particulate Allograft (1:1 ratio) – compared to freeze-dried allograft bone in sinus lift procedures.20

The Proprietary Tutoplast® Process

In 1969 the Tutoplast Tissue Sterilization Process was developed to sterilize and preserve tissue for implantation. More than 11 million implants have been sterilized through the Tutoplast Process with zero confirmed incidence of implant-associated infection.17

The Benefits of the Multi-Step Tutoplast Process

For allograft bone grafts, the process preserves the valuable bone mineral, collagen matrix, and tissue integrity 18 while inactivating pathogens and gently removing unwanted materials, such as cells, antigens, and viruses 17 – resulting in predictable, reliable, sterile, and safe tissue.17
