Key Findings

What the Data Shows

Improved Ergonomic Performance

BoneGainer demonstrated significantly improved ergonomic performance, reducing operator fatigue and enabling more controlled surgical movements throughout the procedure.

Consistent Cutting Behavior

The replaceable blade mechanism maintained consistent cutting behavior throughout procedures, eliminating the performance degradation seen with conventional instruments.

Universal User Satisfaction

Increased user satisfaction was observed across all experience levels — from trainees to experienced oral surgeons — confirming broad clinical applicability.

Very Large Clinical Relevance

Cohen effect size values of r = 0.82 – 0.86 confirm very large clinical relevance per established statistical classification, substantiating the practical significance of the findings.

Conclusion

Clinically Validated.
Functionally Effective.

The study demonstrates significantly improved ergonomic performance, consistent cutting behavior, and increased user satisfaction. BoneGainer presents itself as a clinically validated and functionally effective solution for autologous bone harvesting.
