Irvine-based Biogennix, an osteobiologics company that develops, manufactures, and distributes proprietary bone graft products used for bone fusion procedures, launched its new Agilon Strip bone grafting product.
Developed with Biogennix’s proprietary TrelCor technology, Agilon Strip is the first collagen strip product introduced by Biogennix. Agilon Strip rounds out the company’s TrelCor-based product line-up, joining its granule, block, and moldable bone graft product offerings which first entered the market in 2010. Since then the company has continued to innovate and steadily expand its TrelCor-based product family, the latest being Agilon Strip.
Agilon Strip maximizes direct contact with bone when implanted, boasting one of the highest granule-to-strip ratios on the market today, according to the company. The dense packing of TrelCor granules within Agilon Strip allows it to absorb fluid within seconds, transforming into a flexible strip that can be implanted in original form or divided into smaller pieces. An interconnected porous architecture maximizes fluid retention capabilities and makes the product highly resistant to compression.
TrelCor technology’s advanced material properties promote and enhance healing. With TrelCor technology, all granules are covered in a nanocrystalline HCA (hydroxycarbanoapatite) surface. The nanocrystalline structure provides an optimal surface for cell attachment, while HCA, a specialized form of calcium phosphate that mimics natural bone mineral, allows healing to begin sooner than traditional calcium phosphate bone graft products.
“Based on the enthusiastic feedback we’ve received from surgeons and distributors, we anticipate the Agilon Strip to be a significant addition to our product offering for spine, extremity, and general orthopedic procedures,” Dr. Clay Shors, president and co-founder of Biogennix, told the press. “We know that many surgeons like to work with strips so we decided to develop what we believe is the best collagen strip on the market. This strip is densely packed with granules, which surgeons love, and has all the same healing benefits of our other established product lines.”
Agilon Strip is FDA cleared for general orthopedics and spine procedures and can be blended with both BMA and autograft.
