Characteristics
Ostene® achieves local haemostasis of bone by acting as a mechanical barrier. It does not act
biochemically.
Ostene® comprises a sterile mixture of water-soluble alkylene oxide copolymers. These inert copolymers are well characterised and have been long been used in medical and pharmaceutical applications. These compounds are not metabolised but are eliminated from the body unchanged, primarily via renal excretion.
Ostene® is a patented blend of alkylene oxide copolymers (AOC) which is uniquely formulated for its application as a haemostatic agent. There are no animal or plant extracts used; Ostene® is a totally synthetic material.
Product Codes
Ostene® is supplied in different sized bars within sterile peel pouches with either 10 or 12 bars in a box, depending on size.

NO KNOWN ADVERSE EFFECTS
Application
Ostene is very easy to apply, it requires no mixing and is used straight from its sterile foil packet. Simply warm by kneading in the dry , sterile gloved hand and then apply by pressing into the bone. Ostene has a putty like consistency when warmed to body temperature. It should be applied to a thickness of 1 to 2 mm.
