Safety of Bio-Oss^®

The unique properties of Bio-Oss® result from its natural origin. The strictly controlled production process, patented by Ed. Geistlich Söhne AG, ensures high quality and safety standards.

Production of Bio-Oss®
Bio-Oss® natural bone mineral is bovine derived. In contrast to brain, intestine, or spinal cord, bone is classified by experts and authorities as prion-free tissue. The raw material is obtained from officially controlled environments. The animals must be judged healthy by veterinarians.

In a patented production process, Bio-Oss® undergoes treatment at high temperatures for more than 15 hours, followed by several hours of cleaning with strong alkaline solutions. The result is a highly purified anorganic natural bone mineral.

Official Controls
Bio-Oss® satisfies the strict safety requirements for medical devices in all respects and is subject to a quality-assurance system in accordance with international norms (ISO 9001:2000/ISO 13485: 2000). This is regularly checked by recognized testing institutes and international regulatory authorities. Bio-Oss® is cleared for marketing by FDA as a medical device.
