Description
GEM 21S® Growth-Factor Enhanced Matrix is a synthetic bone graft composed of pure, sterile bioengineered platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and a bone graft. PDGF is naturally found in our bodies (present in the platelets in your blood) and is often referred to as nature’s wound healing protein. Whenever you experience a wound or surgery, your blood clots and platelets release PDGF (along with other proteins), stimulating the healing process. Unfortunately, as we grow older and with certain conditions, the amount of naturally occurring PDGF declines so we no longer heal as we did previously. GEM 21S® replenishes the amount of PDGF at the grafted site to aid in faster, better healing.
