Cowell® BMPOsteoinductive Bone Graft , rhBMP-2 + BCP
Composition of COWELL® BMP
- COWELL® BMP is a bone graft material based on the E.rhBMP-2 (E.Coli derived Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein type 2), developed for the first time in the world. COWELL® BMP is supported with 10 years of clinical data and over 40 studies.
- BCP as a carrier allows maintenance of space.
Features of COWELL® BMP Bone Graft
- Primary closure for soft tissue regeneration is not required.
- Regenerates adherent gingiva.
- Simplifies challenging bone grafting and soft tissue regeneration.
- Acts directly on stem cells.
- Induces bone regeneration without infection in extraction socket.
- Contains 1 mg of bone morphogenic protein per 1g of the particle (1g of autologous bone contains 2ng of
bone morphogenic protein).
Application

- Diabetes ulcer
Mechanism of Action of COWELL® BMP
Migration of Cells with lamellipodia
Cellular mechanisms
- BMP-2 adheres to the membrane of stem cell and induces expression of
genes of nucleus. Then, BMP-2 migrates to recipient site. - BMP-2 growth factor, Twist-2 transcriptional factor, and VEGF growth
factor synthesize and secrete endogenous growth factor. - Proliferation of osteoblast of osteocyte, and proliferation of fibroblast in dermis
and keratinocyte of the skin. - Twist-2 transcriptional factor induces tissue regeneration in osseous tissue
and adherent gingival area.

User Guide of COWELL® BMP
Method I
-
Transfer BCP graft material (Vial I).
-
Inject distilled water into vial II with lyophilized
rhBMP-2 power in it and mix with the powder. -
Mix BMP solution with BCP or plus autogenic
/ allograft and apply into the recipient site. -
Cover the defect area using a barrier membrane
or suture natural soft tissue without membrane.
Method II
-
Transfer BCP graft material
(Vial I) into a container. -
Apply BCP into the recipient site and cover
the defect area using a barrier membrane
or suture natural soft tissue without membrane. -
Inject distilled water into lyophilized
rhBMP-2 powder (vial II). -
Mix rhBMP-2 with distilled water (saline
solution) and wait for 10 ~ 15 mintues
before using. -
Aspirate the mixture using a syringe.
-
Inject BMP solution through soft tissue
until needle of syringe reaches bone.
Method III
-
Inject distilled water into vial II with lyophilized
rhBMP-2 power in it and mix with the powder. -
Aspirate the mixture using a syringe.
-
Hydrate BMP-2 solution into membrane.
-
Apply BMP-2 solution socked membrane
to damaged site.

Study Result on COWELL® BMP Bone Graft
In vivo Study
human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (Beagle dog)
- Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol Endod 2011 -
Histologic Findings
: Tissue specimen collected approximately four months
after the maxillary sinus grafting
(human)
- New bone was formed around the graft material.
- No inflammatory reaction was observed in connective tissue.
- Proliferation of collagen fiber was observed.
- Proliferation of fibrocyte was observed.
- Osteoblast was observed on the surface of newly formed bone.
Clinical Data of COWELL® BMP Bone Graft
- Vertical height of surrounding bone was compared three months after grafting in extraction socket.
The study was conducted at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Yonsei University Dental Hospital, and Korea University Guro Hospital.
