Absorbable vs traditional bone wax in lumbar fusion
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares a traditional bone wax to a new absorbable wax used during lumbar fusion surgery. The goal is to see if the absorbable wax is as safe and effective for sealing bone while potentially being absorbed by the body.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two types of bone graft materials (Magnetos Putty and GlassBone Putty) used in lower back fusion surgery for adults with degenerative disc disease. The goal is to see which material works better for helping the bones fuse together, which may reduce pain and improve function.
This study compares a ready-to-use bone putty to standard bone graft materials (with or without your own bone) during back fusion surgery for unstable lower back problems. It looks at whether the putty works as well or better to help the bones fuse and heal.
This trial puts special beads containing antibiotics and pain medicine directly into the surgical area during lower back fusion surgery. It aims to see if this approach can lower infection risk and improve pain control afterward.
This trial studies a new bone graft material called Virtuos for use in lower back spinal fusion surgery. It may help patients needing a one or two-level lumbar fusion by providing a safe and effective option for bone healing.
This trial tests a new bone graft putty (Novosis Putty) used during a specific type of spine fusion surgery (TLIF) to treat a worn-out disc causing low back and leg pain. The goal is to see if it works as well as or better than current options.
This trial tests a new combination of a cage and bone graft putty for spinal fusion surgery. It is for people with degenerative disc disease or a herniated disc in the neck or lower back that needs surgery.
