The UBTT® service

UBTT® (Universal Bone Tissue Treatment) is a service offered by Bioteck to the Bone Tissue Banks.

Standard procedures for the collection and storage of human bone tissue do not involve the reduction of its antigen load (elimination of cells, lipids, proteins), nor its sterilisation. The tissue is usually collected in an aseptic (but not sterile) environment, and then stored at low temperatures (-80°C) in solutions with the addition of antibiotics, until the time of its use.


The two main difficulties with this type of procedure are the lack of sterility of the graft and the elaborate, costly storage conditions.

With UBTT®, on the other hand, the Partner Bank can exploit Bioteck technology to subject bone tissue to deantigenation and subsequent sterilisation.

Bioteck receives the bone tissue from the Partner Bank and subjects it to a specifically designed enzyme treatment to eliminate cells, lipids and proteins from the bone, without altering the mechanical and biological properties of the bone matrix (type I bone collagen and bone apatite).
The thus-cleaned bone tissue can then be sterilised by radiation with accelerated electrons (beta rays), without the concern that toxic by-products could be formed (this is a risk if organic matter were still present).

The Partner Bank therefore receives, as a final product of the UBTT® service, the same bone collected by themselves, completed deantigenised, sterile and in a high quality final packaging (double medical blister pack). 

The advantages of the UBTT® service are, therefore:

  • Complete elimination of the graft antigen potential 
  • Absolute sterility 
  • Medical packaging (double blister pack)
  • Cheap storage conditions (room temperature) and long shelf life (5 years)

The following Banks currently use the UBTT® service: 

  • Barcelona bone tissue bank
  • Valencia bone tissue bank

 

The custom made block service

The Custom Made Block service targets Maxilla Facial and Dental Surgeons using modern three-dimensional viewing systems of the bone area of intervention, based on computerised axial tomography (CAT) data.

The Professional using the Custom Made Block service first prepares the stereo lithographic model of the bone volume on which the work is to be performed.

He therefore receives one or more parallelepiped bone blocks from Bioteck, of agreed dimensions, and proceeds to adapt these to the stereo lithographic model, giving them the desired form to allow for surgery in optimum conditions. 

The shaped blocks therefore return to Bioteck, where they are definitively cleaned of all contaminants, sterilised and packaged in double medical blister packs, before being sent back to the surgeon.

During the operation, the graft is performed by positioning the previously-shaped bone block, sterile from the blister pack, avoiding any modelling at the time of use, and thereby drastically reducing the difficulty and duration of surgery.

The advantages of the Custom Made Block service can be summarised as:

  • Graft sterility, high quality packaging (double medical blister pack)
  • Reduction of operator times
  • Reduction of discomfort and patient mobility

The Private Labelling service 

The Private Labelling service targets all companies working in medical fields, who wish to equip themselves with one or more customised product lines.

The partner company first examines the range of Bioteck products, and from these chooses a sub-assembly of types and formats that he believes may be of commercial interest in his specific field of action.

The partner company then defines the specific customised characteristics required for the products chosen (product type, formats, new brand, packaging, coding). Bioteck organises attainment of relative CE certification, extending the existing certificates, and finally supplies the partner company with the customised product, finished and ready for marketing.

The advantages of the Private Labelling services, are extremely interesting:

  • With the Private Label, the Partner Company obtains its own customised product, extending its range even where it does not have the necessary productive potential

  • The product obtained through the Private Label, precisely because it is customised, will differ from all competitor products, therefore allowing for specific, efficient marketing actions

  • With the Private Label, the Partner Company can rely on the absolute reliance that marks Bioteck products, which enjoy worldwide fame for clinical efficiency
