Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods and compositions for manufacturing a bone graft substitute. A powder compaction process is utilized to generate a shaped product comprised of a bone material and in some embodiments a processing aid is utilized to facilitate compaction of the bone material and/or for release of the product from the die. In one aspect of the present invention, the manufacturing process comprises a withdrawal press having a shelf die, a lower punch, and an upper punch, wherein at least both the shelf die and lower punch are configured to impart at least part of the shape of the particle upon the material.

Abstract: A shaped particle for use in an array of interlocking particles to repair, replace, improve or augment a bone deficiency is provided. The particle is comprised of bone material and, in a preferred embodiment, has six extremities, and the interstitial spaces between the extremities of one particle accept the extremities of an adjacent particle in an array. In a preferred embodiment, the bone material is demineralized bone material. In some embodiments, the particle is suspended in a material that facilitates application of the particle to bone, and the material may contain biological factors that augment bone growth or prevent infection.
