Gamma irradiation has been used to sterilize synthetic bone grafts but its effect on the biological properties of osseous tissue is not fully elucidated. In this study, OsvehOss synthetic bone grafs were submitted to gamma irradiation doses of 25 and 50 KGy. Various properties such as chemical composition, cell viability (MTT assay), Osteoblast proliferation and alkaline phosphatase activity were studied for the BCP, TCP and HA bone grafts. The results showed gamma irradiation had no effect on the chemical composition of samples. This study showed no significant effect on cell viability and biocompatibility in BCP, TCP and HA samples. The results indicated that no change occurred in alkaline phosphatase activity of samples submitted to gamma irradiation doses of 25 and 50 KGy.

Osveh Asia Medical Instrument Co. is the first Iranian company to make implantable products using PEEK for the sports medicine industry. PEEK Interference Screw, PEEK Tendonitis Screw and PEEK Anchor Sutures is made of VESTAKEEP (by Evonik).
Eight different intratunnel tibial soft tissue fixation devices were biomechanically tested in a sheep model. The soft tissue fixation devices included PEEK interference screws (Osveh Asia Medicla Instrument Co., Iran), Metal and Bioabsorbable interference screws. The specimens were subjected to pull to-failure loading (50 mm/min) with a dynamic tensile testing machine. Ultimate failure load (N), pullout stiffness (N/mm), was recorded.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of novel synthetic bone graft (OsvehOss™) on experimentally created parietal bone defects in rat’s calvarias. Twenty-four rats were randomized into a 4-week group and an 8-week group. For the calvarial defect model, the dorsal part of the cranium was shaved and a linear incision of approximately 20 mm was opened over the scalp of each animal. The periosteum was removed and four full-thickness calvarial defects were prepared (5 mm in diameter) in the parietal. Based on the findings obtained, it could be concluded that the OsvehOss synthetic bone grafts are biocompatible and ossteoconductive and could be proposed as a potential material for filling osseous defects.
