What is the Bonebac Press?
The BoneBac Press is a single use device that collects and uses patients own bone harvested from the surgical site. The BoneBac Press is an affordable option for harvesting bone graft because it avoids medical costs of buying synthetic bone graft. Using your own bone in a spinal fusion will save you money on an already costly surgery. BoneBac Press is a cost effective option for spinal fusion surgery.
How affordable is Bonebac compared to other options like allograft and iliac crest?
While preforming spinal fusion surgery, surgeons may use other forms of grafts, like autograft from the Iliac crest or allograft. When allograft bone purchasing is not feasible or more bone is need surgeons turn to the patient’s hip to harvest additional bone.Drilling out bone from the iliac crest through a separate incision can lead to additional complications, pain, cost and recovery time. Autograft is another form of harvesting bone that is obtained by cadavers. These other forms of bone graft harvesting are costly and there is a less chance of fusion.
BoneBac is a cost effective option
The BoneBac Press eliminates the need for secondary harvesting sites by allowing the surgeon to collect bone that will be removed during the fusion procedure. The device also increases the amount of available graft for bone and spinal fusions using the patients own bone, which saves 80 percent in bone costs and allows surgeon to apply as much bone graft as they feel is clinically needed for optimal fusions.
