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.
