Bone wax was used during the civil war. It is bees wax. It inhibits bone growth.
It is said that it also makes the bone unable to deal with infection and that Ostene a synthetic bone wax doesn't. Also I can't find is Ostene inhibits bone growth.
As far as I know bone wax/ bees wax is the only thing that inhibits bone regrowth. I'm not sure if that is true. You'd think that since the Civil war there would be a better alternative to bees wax.
