Patent number: 10549011Abstract: A collagen-bone composition may include bone collagen and bone particles. The collagen may be in the form of a collagen suspension and the bone particles may be demineralized bone particles retained in collagen suspension. The composition may be prepared from pressure and thermal treatment of dry demineralized bone particles contacted with an aqueous medium to produce a viscous gel-like fluid. The fluid may include the collagen extracted from the demineralized bone particles. Addition of particulate bone may be used to increase the consistency of the composition, which may convert it into a paste or putty. The paste or putty may be suitable for ejection from a syringe. The collagen-bone composition may be preserved by freeze-drying or preferably by hypothermic dehydration. On reconstitution with aqueous medium, the preserved material may resume its original shape and properties.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2015Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Assignee: Osteolife Biomedical, LLCInventor: Theodore Malinin

Patent number: 9101424Abstract: A flexible, bendable organic decalcified or partially decalcified bone, cortical or cancellous, adapted for use in augmentation or repair of animal skeletal structures comprising a continuous plate or sheet of natural bone, as well as dermis is described. The thickness, flexibility and tensile strength of the construct is such as to allow it to be shaped and contoured without damage to it. The composition is ultimately remodeled by the body, thus obviating the need for additional surgical intervention. The clinical indications for the use of the invented construct are many, but are particularly prominent in dentistry, oral and maxillofacial surgery and implantology. It is particularly useful in the maxillary sinus augmentation. A unique new method, different from previously described methods for the preparation of the disclosed constructs, is described.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2014Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Inventor: Theodore Malinin

Publication number: 20070135918Abstract: Provided are procedures and instruments for preparing and transplanting osteochondral allograft plugs to a host bone to repair an articular cartilage defect. An allograft bone plug having a cartilage plate and cancellous bone tissue attached thereto is removed from a donor bone. The allograft plug is further shaped by removing or cutting away cancellous bone tissue to form a cancellous stalk extending from the cartilage plate. The formed cancellous stalk can have any suitable shape including cylindrical, conical, and rectilinear. At the recipient site of the host bone, a cutout is forined corresponding in shape to the allograft plug. The allograft plug is inserted into the cutout such that the cancellous stalk is retained in the host bone and the cartilage plate aligns with the condyle surface of the host bone. Aspects of the invention may also be applicable to preparing and transplanting osteochondral autograft plugs.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2007Publication date: June 14, 2007Inventor: Theodore Malinin
