  • Patent number: 8829074
    Abstract: A bone cement is provided that includes a solid component and a liquid component. The solid component and liquid component are mixed together to form the bone cement. After completion of the solid and liquid component mixing, the bone cement has an initial viscosity effective for manual application or manual injection onto or into a targeted anatomical location, e.g., bone, and the cement has stable viscosity range that over both time and temperature is effective for uniformly filling the targeted anatomical location, for example an osteoporotic bone or a fractured vertebral body, with minimal to no leakage of the cement from the targeted anatomical location. Additionally, both the initial viscosity and the stable viscosity of the bone cement are within a range that renders the bone cement effective for injection with a manually operated syringe or multiple syringes.

  • Publication number: 20140100297
    Abstract: A bone cement is shown that includes a monomer, and a non-reactive substance that is fully miscible with the monomer. A resulting cured bone cement exhibits desirable properties such as modification in a stiffness of the material. Modified properties such a stiffness can be tailored to match bone properties and reduce an occurrence of fractures adjacent to a region repaired with bone cement. One example includes adjacent vertebral body fractures in vertebroplasty procedures.

  • Publication number: 20110150762
    Abstract: A bone cement configured to be introduced to a target bone location and allowed to cure includes at least a monomer, and an amount of bone marrow. The resulting cured bone cement includes at least one desired mechanical property that can be tailored to match a like mechanical property of the target bone. The mechanical property can be a material stiffness (Young's modulus) or yield strength.
