Virtua is one of the best and most respected hospitals in the greater Philadelphia area. If the chief of spine surgery there agrees to be the first to use the product and comments favorably about it, that is certainly a large plus for Osteotech. For the poster who flipped out because he commented on the biologics, which need 6-18 months to prove themselves--all he said was that they are unique. Since the formulation of the product is patented, I think that is a safe statement. OF COURSE the company will follow the progress of the first patients very carefully to determine if the novel formulation advances patient outcomes. Finally, I do not appreciate being called "gullible." Let someone else waste their time reading your worthless posts. I'm done with you.
