Elite Surgical
Benign bone cysts and lesions get scraped clean, and what is left is a hole in otherwise healthy bone. ACTIFUSE fills that cavity with an 80% porous mineral scaffold that new bone grows through and replaces. For small access corridors, the MIS applicator delivers 0.5 mL per controlled trigger squeeze through an 8 mm channel.

Authorized distributor of Baxter ACTIFUSE
93% fusion across 694 patients, independent review
FDA cleared and used in US spine surgery since 2007
In the OR with your surgeon, OH MI IN and Pittsburgh
Our process
- 1CurettageThe lesion is scraped back to healthy bleeding bone.
- 2The cavity is filledACTIFUSE packed by hand or delivered through the MIS applicator.
- 3Protection while healingHardware if the defect risks fracture; the graft fills, it does not bear load.
- 4The cavity becomes boneScaffold resorbs, bone replaces it, follow-up imaging confirms fill.
Why Choose Us
- No bone harvested from the patient
- MIS applicator reaches lesions through an 8 mm corridor
- 100% fusion in the adolescent scoliosis cohort of the independent review, the strongest pediatric signal in our data
- Pediatric labeling caveats disclosed up front, not discovered later
An unfilled cavity is a fracture risk, and in younger patients, who get bone cysts most, harvesting their own bone to fill it adds a second wound to a minor operation. Isolated transient inflammatory reactions have been reported in pediatric patients with large juvenile bone cysts, disclosed in the labeling, without impact on the therapeutic outcome.
What families ask about bone cysts
Does a benign bone cyst need surgery now
You found a benign bone cyst on your patient's scan. You do not know if it can be watched or if it needs surgery now.
Treat if the lesion is large, painful, or weakening the bone. Small inactive lesions can often be watched. If you operate, pack the void after curettage.
Weight bearing after bone cyst grafting
Your patient had a benign bone cyst curetted and grafted in a leg bone. You need to tell them when they can walk on it.
Timing depends on the bone and defect size. Most lower-limb defects need protected weight bearing until new bone shows on X-ray. Upper-limb defects may return to use sooner.
Filling a bone cyst after removal
You removed a benign bone cyst. The leftover cavity is too big to leave empty. Harvesting bone from the patient's hip means a second cut and more pain.
Use a synthetic bone graft substitute that fills the hole and resorbs as new bone replaces it. For a small opening, a MIS applicator can deliver the graft through a narrow path.
MIS delivery versus open packing for a small bone lesion
You found a small benign lesion through a narrow corridor. You want to fill it without making a large opening in the bone.
Use an MIS applicator to deliver graft through a small cannula. This works for small contained defects. If the lesion is large or hard to reach, open packing may be safer.
ACTIFUSE FLOW vs ACTIFUSE MIS for bone cyst filling
You need to fill a bone cyst through a small corridor. You are not sure whether to grab a flowable syringe or a MIS delivery system.
Use ACTIFUSE FLOW when you want precise syringe control in a wider opening. Use ACTIFUSE MIS when the opening is narrow and you need to reach a small corridor. The graft itself is the same, the delivery changes.
