Does it have an expiration date or something like that?

Huh. I always figured it’d look like some sort of bone screen matrix or something. Not forbidden Parmesan cheese.

These types of bone graft products come from human tissue donors. The bone is cleaned/sterilized and freeze-dried to remove any cells while keeping the natural bone framework that the ‘new’ bone can grow through. In surgery, we pack the material between the vertebrae to help the vertebrae fuse together into one solid bone. Over the next few months. the patient’s own bone cells should grow into it and eventually replace the graft with living bone.

After rechecking the sub (I thought this was r/medizzy ), I think this might actually qualify for r/damnthatsinteresting too!

Appears to be some type of cortical/ cancellous blend
Amazing how many lives can be enhanced from a single donation. 100s of these grafts can be made from a single donor.
