Overview

Callos - Calcium Phosphate Cement


Backed by more than 15 years of scientific development, Callos is Acumed’s next-generation calcium phosphate bone void filler cement. For bony voids and defects in cancellous bone, our unique biologic cement provides immediate, high-compressive support where host bone is compromised.

Approved Indications

Approved Indications

  • Fractures with metaphyseal comminution.
  • Tibial plateau fractures.
  • Distal radius fractures.
  • Calcaneal fractures.
  • Pilon fractures.
  • Proximal humerus fractures.
  • Tumors and cysts.
  • Synthetic backfill after bone graft.
Key Features

Key Features

  • Long term strength: Callos remodels at the same rate as natural bone and provides a synthetic osteoconductive scaffold to promote bony ingrowth. When paired with adjacent Acumed hardware, Callos delivers both immediate and continuous strength.
  • Hardware insertion: Callos features improved tensile and flexural strength and greater fracture toughness — allowing Callos to be used in conjunction with supplemental internal fixation. Callos Impact is ready for drilling and hardware insertion in as little as six minutes.
  • Improved handling: Callos sets quickly in a warm, aqueous environment — and Callos can be manipulated post-implantation to help refine bone reconstruction. Callos is easy to mix and can be molded or injected.
  • Excellent compressive strength: Callos is more than twice as strong as cancellous bone.
