Harvest & Debride
THE AVITUS® BONE & MARROW HARVESTER is advanced suction curettage technology that can harvest small to large volumes of cancellous bone and additional non-diluted bone marrow aspirate, in a few minutes through a minimally invasive incision from easy access sites such as proximal tibia, distal tibia, calcaneus and additional lower and upper extremity harvest sites. The Avitus® Bone Harvester is an easy-to-use device for efficiently harvesting autologous bone and marrow to be delivered to an orthopaedic surgical site. The Avitus Bone Harvester is a sterile-packed, disposable device and enables percutaneous bone and marrow harvesting.
The Avitus® suction curettage technology is also indicated to harvest cancellous bone and bone marrow; to debride and capture infected, necrotic or diseased cancellous bone (e.g. osteomyelitis, cancellous bone tumors). In this application the Avitus® enables efficient deep debridement in a close-captured system to minimize spread of diseased tissue in the operative field.
Indications for Use:
- Harvest cancellous bone and bone marrow;
- Debride and capture infected, necrotic or diseased cancellous bone (e.g. osteomyelitis, cancellous bone tumors).

Why choose cancellous autograft?
It is the only stand-along graft option that offers the three
pillars to bone remodeling and healing.1,2

Benefits
Rapid Bone and Marrow Harvesting
Sharp angled tip design allows user to minimally invasively harvest bone from multiple anatomic locations quickly and efficiently
Effective Tissue Debridement
The Avitus is a sterile-packed, single-use suction curettage device that enables surgeons to debride and capture infection.
Minimally Invasive Closed Capture
The Avitus Bone Harvester efficiently evacuates diseased bone and infection in a closed capture system saving time in the OR for surgeons in cases where infection debridement is paramount to patient outcomes.
