Bone Void Filler, Post-Harvest Iliac Crest, Ability of CopiOs to fill the post-harvest iliac crest bone void created by a surgeon during spinal fusion.
Brief summary
The CopiOs Bone Void Filler (BVF) is a synthetic bone graft material consisting of calcium phosphate dehydrate within lyophilized type I bovine collagen that has been formed into pads of various sizes for surgical implantation. Pre-clinical animal studies suggest that the bone healing strength of CopiOs to be equivalent to autograft.
Detailed description
Purpose of the study is to evaluate the in-vivo use of CopiOs bone void filler in a single site trial, providing pre and post-operative evaluations of subjects undergoing spinal fusion with autogenous bone graft, in whom the CopiOs has been used as a bone void filler in the post-harvest iliac crest.
