BioGraft® Synthetic Bone Graft Products Now Available in India

IFGL Refractories Limited (Kolkata, India) has set up facilities for the manufacture of Dental Bone Graft Granules & Blocks at the company’s unit situated near Rourkela. These products are marketed by IFGL Bio Ceramics Ltd (IBL).

Two varieties – Dental Bone Graft Granules i.e. Hydroxyapatite (Bio Graft - HA) & Beta - tri calcium phosphate (BioGraft - HT) – are manufactured and are available in the market under brand name BioGraft®. These are synthetic hydroxyapatite and hydroxyapatite beta tri calcium phosphate based bone graft materials, which are both bio-compatible and bio-active.
