Unilab Surgibone Inc.

Unilab Surgibone of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, is one of the
pioneers and leading companies in the world to adapt and promote
the use of animal bone in neurosurgical and orthopaedic surgery.
The product, Unilab Surgibone, has been used in Canada since
1975, and is now used around the world wherever sophisticated
techniques are available. Unilab Surgibones can be used for
lumbar or cervical fusion, vertebra recontruction and cavity
fillings. Unilab Surgibones eliminates the use of autologous
bone in many areas. They are absorbed into the host bone by the
process known as ``Creeping Substitution``.

At the present the company has a plant in the U.S. where the
bones are obtained from cattle, carefully inspected by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture during the slaughter and processing
for human consumption. There are no known cases of BSE in the
U.S. Sophisticated chemical cleaning and treatments also
eliminate several suspected viral infections. Unilab Surgibones
are partially processed in the U.S. and then sent to the
Canadian plant for finishing and sterilization, thus becoming a
``Product of Canada``.

More than 100 sizes and shapes are available in sterile
packages, ready to use.
