  • Title: [Bovine heterologous bone graft in orbital surgery].
    Author: Morax S, Hurbli T, Smida R.
    Journal: Ann Chir Plast Esthet; 1993 Aug; 38(4):445-50. PubMed ID: 7779174.
    Abstract:
    Lubboc (T650) is a bovine heterologous bone implant obtained by specific preparation of trabecular of bone. In vitro and in vivo biocompatibility studies have revealed the absence of any cytotoxicity or systemic toxicity. Lubboc has many fields of application, including all bone graft surgical indications. We report our first results concerning the use of this product in orbital surgery either as a filling or contention material or as an apposition material. On all 20 operated patients we did not encounter any intolerance, inflammation or infection. The follow-up is still too short to appreciate the long term integration of this material which has the advantage of being a substitute for autologous bone, avoiding bone graft harvesting.
