## Intended Use

InQu® is a resorbable bone void filler intended to fill bony gaps or voids that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. InQu® is intended for use as a bone graft substitute in the skeletal system (extremities and pelvis) and as a bone graft extender in the spine when combined with bone autograft. These defects may be surgically created osseous defects or osseous defects created from traumatic injury to the bone. The product provides a bone void filler that resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process.

## Device Story

InQu® Paste Mix Plus is a sterile, synthetic, resorbable bone void filler; composed of poly (D,L-lactide-co-glycolide), hyaluronic acid, and sodium carboxymethylcellulose. Provided as a powder to be mixed with a fluid (saline or blood) at the time of use to form a putty. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to fill bony voids; material resorbs and is replaced by bone during healing. Device improves handling characteristics compared to previous iterations.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Study compared dissolution rate and characteristics of smaller granule size in Paste Mix Plus to predicate devices; results showed no significant differences.

## Technological Characteristics

Synthetic bone void filler; materials: poly (D,L-lactide-co-glycolide), hyaluronic acid, sodium carboxymethylcellulose. Form: granular powder mixed with fluid to form putty. Resorbable. Single patient use.

## Regulatory Identification

A resorbable calcium salt bone void filler device is a resorbable implant intended to fill bony voids or gaps of the extremities, spine, and pelvis that are caused by trauma or surgery and are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure.

## Special Controls

InQu®<br>is intended for use as a bone graft substitute in the skeletal system<br>(extremities and pelvis) and as a bone graft extender in the spine<br>when combined with bone autograft. These defects may be surgically<br>created osseous defects or osseous defects created from traumatic<br>injury to the bone. The product provides a bone void filler that resorbs<br>and is replaced with bone during the healing process. |              |
| Device Description,<br>Summary of<br>Technological<br>Characteristics                  | InQu® Paste Mix Plus is intended for single patient use only. The<br>device is a sterile, granular, synthetic bone void filler composed of<br>poly (D,L-lactide-co-glycolide), hyaluronic acid and sodium carboxy-<br>methylcellulose provided in powder form, added to improve handling<br>characteristics. The two components are mixed at the time of use and<br>combined with a fluid (e.g. saline or blood) to form a putty, which is<br>easily placed into bony voids.
