Eclipse™... For balanced bone regeneration.

Eclipse™... For balanced bone regeneration.Using the mineral building blocks naturally found in human bone, Eclipse goes a step beyond the realm of everyday hydroxyapatite (HA) and tricalcium phosphate (TCP) with its unique combination of micro and macroporosity technology.
The Eclipse key to balanced bone regeneration is its unique ratio between micro and macro porosity and its unique ratio between HA and ß-TCP.

        Product composition

          • 80% ß-TCP – calcium and phosphate ion release

          • 20% HA – scaffold effect for osteoblastic activity

          • 70% overall porosity
            - 2/3 macroporosity
            - 1/3 microporosity

See our bone graft comparison chart page

Microporosity+macroporosity=Controlled Bioactivity=›Resorption & Substitution

Microporosity (pores <10µm) allows the diffusion of biological fluids, by the capillary action, into the three-dimensional matrix. Inside the fine pores of the matrix, biological fluids dissolve ß-TCP producing calcium phosphate ions that are released back into the biological fluids. This saturation of ions leads to precipitation of apatite crystal identical to that of the natural bone minerals. Shortly afterwards, this process creates a surface that promotes bone cell adhesion.

Eclipse micropores assure interconnectivity of the porous network allowing diffusion of biological fluids throughout the graft. These fluids are necessary for the dissolution of the ß-TCP causing the liberation and precipitation of calcium and phosphate ions. This initial step creates large specific surfaces able to catch and absorb the proteins and growth factors of the patient. Then Eclipse macropores allow cells and tissue to colonize into the core of the implant resulting in bone formation through the natural osseous substitution process.

Macroporosity (300 to 600µm) promote a deep invasion of osteogenic cells by osteoconduction. Through the same resorption and formation cycle as the natural bone remodeling process, new bone increases progressively at the expense of the Eclipse.

MBCP Gel™

Rounded particles used in Eclipse GelFrom the manufacturers of ECLIPSE - biphasic calcium phosphate synthetic material in a polymer gel.

MBCP Gel is composed of rounded granules in hydrophilic polymer solution.

          • 55% MBCP 80—200 µm granules

          • Granules are : 60% HA and 40 ß-TCP

          • 45% HPMC Synthetic polymer (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose)

By combining the complete interconectivity of MBCP granules with a carrier, the handling properties are greatly enhanced.
