A user reported that they experienced difficulty in dispensing bio-oss granules from the geistlich bio-oss pen (gbop).Specifically it was reported that there appeared to be resistance to the plunger progression in the syringe-like configuration of the pen.It was reported that it seems to get caught somewhere in the barrel and then will suddenly release and the bio-oss granules spill out.As result the user completed the treatment having emptied the pen into a dish and then scooped the granules and placed into the treatment site.Geistlich bio-oss pen is a product variant providing ease of use in a syringe-like dispenser configuration.The pen contains natural bone mineral for filling of bone defects in maxillofacial surgery, implantology, and periodontology.The material consists of anorganic bovine bone mineral which is provided in a syringe-like applicator.Geistlich bio-oss pen consists of 7 components which are fully assembled and sterilized then distributed by the manufacturer.One of the components is a silicone plunger which operates within the barrel of the syringe.Geistlich pharma is investigating this complaint fully to determine potential cause of the product problem as reported.
