The two-year postoperative clinical data showed OsteoSponge equivalent to recombinant bone morphogenic protein in achieving interbody fusion. Patients who received OsteoSponge also reported significantly less leg pain than patients who received rhBMP-2.

The product is used in conjunction with patients’ own bone marrow aspirate. Since its release, OsteoSponge has been implanted more than 100,000 times.
