  • Patent number: 11648334
    Abstract: A bone gel composition consists of cortical bone. The cortical bone is made from cut pieces freeze-dried then ground into particles and demineralized then freeze-dried. A volume of the particles is placed in a solution of sterile water to create a mixture, the water volume being at least twice the particle volume, the mixture is autoclaved under heat and pressure to form a gelatin, the resulting bone gel is formed into sheets having a thickness (t).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 20, 2020
    Date of Patent: May 16, 2023

  • Publication number: 20210023270
    Abstract: A bone gel composition consists of cortical bone. The cortical bone is made from cut pieces freeze-dried then ground into particles and demineralized then freeze-dried. A volume of the particles is placed in a solution of sterile water to create a mixture, the water volume being twice the second portion, the mixture is autoclaved under heat and pressure to form a gelatin, the resulting bone gel is placed in jars and kept at room temperature or frozen for later use. The cortical bone has the cut pieces having a width, a length and a thickness in the range of 1 to 4 mm. The cortical bone pieces are ground to a particle size up to 125 microns.

  • Patent number: 10743994
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fenestrated bone graft and a method of preparing cortical bone in thin strips then fully demineralizing it to give it formed flexibility and then creating fenestrations in the cortical bone in a fashion similar to but not identical to skin grafts.

  • Patent number: 10596298
    Abstract: A malleable demineralized bone composition consists of cortical bone made from a first portion and a second portion. The first portion of cortical bone is made from cut pieces freeze dried then ground into particles and demineralized then freeze-dried. The second portion of cortical bone is shaved into shavings. The shavings are long thin strips subjected to freeze-drying. The freeze-dried shavings are ground and demineralized and then freeze-dried. A volume of the second portion is placed in a solution of sterile water to create a mixture, the water volume being twice the second portion, the mixture is autoclaved under heat and pressure to form a gelatin, and the first portion is mixed with the gelatin to form a malleable putty or paste.

  • Patent number: 10463767
    Abstract: A moldable bone composition consists of a mixture of: cortical bone and cancellous bone. The cortical bone is formed in three portions, a mineralized shaving portion and a demineralized shaving portion and a mineralized powder portion. The cancellous bone is formed in a mineralized crushed cancellous portion. The portions are free-dried and mixed together to form a freeze-dried moldable bone composition.
