Thank you, interesting article.
I think that the difference between medpor and this would be the elasticity and the amont of pressure applied to the bone, since medpor is rigid and difficult to shape in situ.
It seems like a middle way between silastic and medpor, mixing properties somehow, and could be and interesting option, among implants.
