A-GRIX
Ascend Surgical utilizes the latest Material Science Technology to solve the major limitations of Calcium Sulfate. Made from Medical Grade Calcium Sulfate, A-GRIX is composed of granules (200-1000 um) with a longer dissolution rate (90 days) and a higher strength than other calcium sulfates on the market. The finely milled pellets increase its durability, while the characteristics of the Calcium Sulfate past allow for easy and flexible applications. The structure of A-GRIX, therefore, will last longer when implanted, allowing for a longer dissolving time, which is critical to new bone growth.

NEW ARRIVALS
A-GRIX is Osteoconductive
FACILITATING new bone growth by inhibiting non-osteogenic cellular growth. It will be completely resorbed and replaced by new bones during the healing process.
Fully Resorbed
Fully resorbable with 3 months (90 days), the dissolving rate of A-Grix is much more synchronized with the rate of new bone growth.
A-Grix Resorption Rate
Dissolution Rate Test
A-Grix TE Strength Testing vs other Calcium Sulfates
The use of Calcium Sulfate significantly increases angiogenesis during bone regeneration. Microvessel density of Calcium Sulfate-treated sites have been observed to increase by more than 40% when compared to autograft treated sites. The increase in blood vessels provides more oxygen, nutrients and growth factors to the site of the regeneration, thereby improving the recovery process for the 4 patient.
THE TECHNOLOGY
Ascend Surgical utilizes the latest Material Science Technology to solve the major limitations of Calcium Sulfate. Made from medical grade Calcium Sulfate, A-GRIX is composed of granules w1th longer dissolution rate and higher strength than other products.
The finely milled pellets increase its durability, while the characteristics of the Calcium Sulfate paste allow for easy and flexible applications. The structure of A-GRIX, therefore, will last longer when implanted, allowing for a longer dissolving t1me, which is critical to new bone growth.

BIOMECHANICAL TEST
The biomechanic restoration performance was evaluated by measuring the breaking strength of drilled rabbit femurs after implantation. The new bone restoration rate of A-GRIX-filled group was 99.23% at 5 weeks after implantation, Indicating that the use of A-GRIX may significantly accelerate bone healing.
