Bacterin Announces 3Demin™ Cortical Fibers
BELGRADE, MT--(BUSINESS WIRE) — October 20, 2014 -- Bacterin International Holdings, Inc. (NYSE MKT: BONE), a leader in the development of bone graft material and coatings for medical applications, today announced the launch of a demineralized allograft, 3Demin™ Cortical Fibers.
3Demin™ Cortical Fibers are the first product released in Bacterin’s latest 3Demin™ product family, and the second new product launched this year. 3Demin™ allografts may be used in a number of orthopedic and reconstructive applications, particularly spinal procedures.
