Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) Carrier
Natural Plant Derived Carrier
- A polysaccharide hydrogel derived from linters of the cotton seed
- Commonly used in food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical preparations
- Excellent biocompatibility – does not interfere with cell mediated bone formation
- Odourless, tasteless and nontoxic
- High viscosity physiologically inert carrier which maintains its interface at the graft site
- Malleable – can be molded and placed into any shaped defect
- Excellent dimensional stability – does not significantly shrink nor expand
- Will not migrate from the graft site
- Resorbs slowly in harmony with new bone formation allowing for cellular and vascular infiltration
- Haemostatic effect when grafted into a bleeding site
- FDA classifies CMC as GRAS (generally regarded as safe)
