Adaptos® Fuse is indicated for use in surgically created osseous defects and defects resulting from traumatic injury, including indications such as posterolateral spine, intervertebral disc space, and in pelvic area. In interbody fusion procedures, Adaptos®Fuse Bone Graft is intended to be used with interbody fusion devices FDA cleared for the indication. The material is designed to resorb over time and be replaced by bone during the natural healing process.
Adaptos® Fuse has been engineered to integrate into standard surgical techniques, with handling characteristics intended to support intraoperative efficiency. Its design also supports robust combination with autograft and postoperative imaging visibility, an important consideration in clinical follow-up.
