Xcyte - Cavix AB

Xcyte is designed to overcome the limitations of autografts and allografts.

With no secondary surgical sites, less surgery time and less risk of infection. Its unique chemistry and nanocrystalline structure are proven, in a growing body of clinical evidence, to promote a positive inflammatory response that initiates predictable bone healing.

Conventional bone grafts and bone graft substitutes are associated with well-known risks as well as frequent failures and unpredictable healing. For pets, owners and surgeons, the need for a synthetic alternative is clear. Read more

Xcyte is a ready-to-use nanosynthetic bone graft substitute that provides a safe and effective alternative to autograftharvest. Whether the patient’s pain is due to degeneration, trauma or instability, it is designed to reliably regenerate bone while reducing surgical time and anaesthetic risk. Read more

The catalyst for natural bone healing

Similar to native bone, the chemistry and structure of Xcyte play an important role in catalyzing bone formation. Read more

Regenerative bio-apatite chemistry

Hydroxyapatite: 80-95 wt%
α-tricalcium phosphate: < 10 wt%
calcium pyrophosphate: 0.1-10 wt%

Nanocrystalline structure

Nanoscale structure easily recognized by bone cells
Instructive nanocrystalline architecture activates pro-healing M2 macrophages

Ready-to-use putty for controlled handling

Available as a moldable, cohesive and versatile bone graft putty, Xcyte enables easily controlled handling, application and placement, thereby simplifying clinical workflows and ensuring minimal surgical time and costs.

$vertebral fracture_480x270$

A dog with a vertebral fracture suffered monoplegia, monopareses and severe pain. 7 months after treatment with Xcyte, the fracture site was completely healed and the dog was able to walk normally. more

A mix-breed dog suffered severe lameness in the right front limb due to carpal instability caused by trauma. 7 weeks after treatment with Xcyte, the dog showed no lameness. more

The promise of Xcyte is its potential to ensure complete, predictable bone healing. It’s exciting to see a growing number of cases with initial control CT scans showing confirmation of this promise.
