Dr. Peter Costantino has developed a product for replacing and regenerating bone.This material is called Hydroxyapatite cement, which can be likened to a plaster of paris compound, is used as a foundation for bone regeneration, facilitating previously impossible cranio-facial repairs and reconstruction. BoneSource® Classic is an osteoconductive, isothermic bone substitute (cement) made from calcium phosphate salts and sodium phosphate solution. BoneSource® Classic offers excellent biocompatibility and high mechanical stability while being easy to handle in the operating room.

Tissue Reengineering is Revolutionizing Surgical Outcomes

Dr. Peter Costantino has developed a product for tissue reengineering called AlloDerm®. Tissue engineering is a hot topic for researchers, and close attention to AlloDerm® is being paid by researchers who are attempting to generate human organs. Dr. Costantino states that, "many doctors and HMOs are unaware of our "reconstructive capability. Instead, they steer their tumor-stricken patients to radiation and chemo, which could be less effective than surgery."
