BioCUE™ Platelet Concentration System

Designed to process a mixture of autologous whole blood and bone marrow aspirate, the BioCUE BBMA Concentration System represents an evolution in this technique. The system includes all the components to DRAW blood, ASPIRATE bone marrow, easily PROCESS the disposable system, and produce an autologous PRP output to HYDRATE the surgeon’s choice of autograft and/or allograft bone.

Focus on Bone Marrow
Aspirated bone marrow is frequently used as a bone grafting tool. Designed to process autologous bone marrow aspirate and whole blood, the BioCUE System represents an evolution in this technique. The system has all the components to ASPIRATE bone marrow and whole blood, PROCESS the disposable system, and produce and output to HYDRATE the surgeons choice of autograft and/or allograft.

Aspirate
The bone marrow aspirate (BMA) needle provided with the BioCUE System has several advantages over traditional aspiration needles.

  • 6 holes as the distal tip, allowing for more efficient aspiration
  • Stylet with trocar point for penetration of the cortal bone into the bone marrow cavity
  • Stylet with blunt tip for easy movement of the needle within the bone marrow cavity

Blood draw components are provided for the aspiration of whole blood using standard venipuncture techniques.

 

Process
Unlike traditional PRP disposables which can only process whole blood, the BioCUE System is designed to concentrate platelets and white blood cells from a combination of BMA and whole blood.

Features of the BioCUE System include:

  • Dual buoy design eliminates need to filter bone marrow or whole blood prior to processing
  • Outputs 6cc of autologous PRP from BMA and whole blood
  • 15 minute centrifugation cycle using dedicated Biomet Biologics centrifuge
  • PRP contains 70% of available platelets and 74% of available white blood cells

 

Hydrate
Surgeons can use the PRP from the BioCUE System to hydrate their choice of autograft or allograft.

Surgeons seeking a synthetic bone graft substitute can utilize Biomet Biologics' Bone Graft Convenience Kit which includes 15cc of Bonus Synthetic Bone Graft.
