As far as I know, no design engineers or marketeers were let go.

Meaning; you sell, you get paid a commission. No more free lunches. If there is any truth to this I would suspect our friends at Spine Wave our experiencing a cash-flow problem.Musculoskeletal Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14873819014357051373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-126852961571725269.post-463056733743847262009-02-17T10:25:00.000-08:002009-02-17T10:25:00.000-08:00Ryan: I can understand the difficulty in attemptin...Ryan: I can understand the difficulty in attempting to explain the meaning of Osteostimulative versus Osteoinductive. The process by which bone grafting material induces or stimulates a cascading of events that culminates in signaling, recruitment, proliferation, and differentiation of osteoblasts is where the confusion lies. This definition is commonly used by companies marketing both materials.<BR/><BR/>I would recommend the following; An osteostimulative material needs an osseous defect that provides nutrients (blood) to stimulate bone growth. In addition, a synthetic bone graft that is osteostimulative will not grow ectopic bone. An osteoinductive material can grow bone anywhere, i.e. spinal canal, around nerve roots, and soft-tissue (muscle) as has been selectively reported by surgeons.<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps.Musculoskeletal Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14873819014357051373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-126852961571725269.post-42981367264862160002009-02-16T15:54:00.000-08:002009-02-16T15:54:00.000-08:00There is alot of confusion in the biologics arena....There is alot of confusion in the biologics arena.
