Features

Octacalcium phosphate/collagen composites (OCP/Col: Bonarc), a bone regenerative material commercialized in 2019, outperforms the bone regeneration of existing bone substitutes and is cost-effective and easy to use. Recently, we have demonstrated that the addition of teriparatide (TPTD: a parathyroid hormone for the treatment of osteoporosis) to OCP/Col, or improvements in the manufacturing process of OCP/Col, would expand their use for intractable bone defects and bone augmentation, which is difficult to treat.

Targeted Application(s)/Industry

As a medical devise of bone regenerative material, expansion of application in various bone defect (orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery, etc.) and overseas expansion would be expected. Furthermore, as a combination product based on OCP/Col would provide a therapeutic alternative for difficult bone defects or urgent surgery.
