Therapies That Engage and Enhance the Body’s Natural Healing Process
Active Healing Therapies
At Bioventus, our Active Healing Therapies trigger the body’s natural healing process to help patients suffering from either fractures or osteoarthritic joint pain get back to their best selves. These products are known for their innovation, safety and effectiveness. Our Active Healing Therapies empower patients to take control of their own healing process, and helps get patients back to their normal day-to-day lives.
Bone Graft Substitutes
Our Bone Graft Substitutes business is driven to advance the science and surgical performance of orthobiologics with a comprehensive portfolio of clinically efficacious and cost effective solutions. Bioventus Surgical also believes in evidence based medicine and we have several ongoing clinical studies spread across many of our offerings.

Effective Therapies
Safe, Innovative and Effective Orthopaedic Therapies
Our treatment alternatives may help keep patients out of the hospital, providing therapies that are easily administered either at the patient’s home or in the doctor’s office to stimulate the body’s natural healing process.
What is Active Healing
When a cast is placed on a broken leg, it is not the cast itself that heals the bone; it is the human body itself that works overtime to fix what’s broken. Many therapies for bone health rely on this sort of passive healing, where one must wait for the human body to repair itself.
At Bioventus, we have a different approach to bone health that doesn’t involve drugs or surgery. We call this approach “active healing.” Our products work with the body, enhancing the body’s natural healing processes. Our innovative products – rooted in biology – accelerate recovery by reducing the need for costly, more invasive procedures.
Faster Fracture Healing with EXOGEN
Patients who are recovering from fractures are increasingly turning to EXOGEN to aid their healing process. EXOGEN is the only FDA approved bone growth stimulator that uses ultrasound waves to activate cells near the site of the break. EXOGEN is particularly useful in healing non-union bone fractures that might otherwise require surgery to heal. EXOGEN only requires 20 minutes a day of use, and has been clinically proven to heal 86% of non-union bone fractures1. EXOGEN can also speed the healing of an indicated* broken tibia or radius by 38% – this could shorten recovery time by weeks 2,3.

BONES Studies Information
Announced in March of 2017, Bioventus has commissioned an innovative series of clinical studies to further validate the ability of the EXOGEN® Ultrasound Bone Healing System to mitigate the risk of a fracture progressing to nonunion in the presence of known risk factors. Learn more
Joint Therapies That Ease Pain and Increase Mobility
When osteoarthritis strikes at joints, it depletes the body’s natural lubrication, which can cause so much pain and discomfort that sometimes the entire joint is replaced surgically. Bioventus offers effective joint therapies that:
- Attacks the pain directly in the joints
- Provides pain relief that can last for months
- Re-lubricates the joints for increased mobility
- Improves cartilage integrity that further reduces joint pain
Discover how our joint therapies are the solution osteoarthritis patients need.

*EXOGEN Summary of Indications for Use: The EXOGEN Ultrasound Bone Healing System is indicated for the non-invasive treatment of established non-unions† excluding skull and vertebra. In addition, EXOGEN is indicated for accelerating the time to a healed fracture for fresh, closed, posteriorly displaced distal radius fractures and fresh, closed or Grade I open tibial diaphysis fractures in skeletally mature individuals when these fractures are orthopaedically managed by closed reduction and cast immobilization.
There are no known contraindications for the EXOGEN device. Safety and effectiveness has not been established for individuals lacking skeletal maturity; pregnant or nursing women; patients with cardiac pacemakers; on fractures due to bone cancer; or on patients with poor blood circulation or clotting problems.
