Abstract: A method of producing an osteoinductive composition for in vivo use, in which the method includes obtaining bone tissue; cleaning the bone tissue with a plurality of washes; milling, grinding, and/or cutting the cleaned bone tissue into a plurality of bone pieces or fibers of a desired size; and demineralizing the plurality of bone pieces or fibers of a desired size to expose one or more native bone proteins, with demineralizing including combining the plurality of bone pieces or fibers in a reaction vessel with an ionic acid solution, soaking the plurality of bone pieces or fibers in the ionic acid solution, and exposing the one or more native proteins in the bone pieces or fibers.

Abstract: A method of maintaining cellular viability of harvested bone, where the method includes: providing a source of bone or bone particles; combining the bone or the bone particles with a sterile solution; and storing the bone or the bone particles in the sterile solution until their introduction into a patient.

Abstract: An osteoinductive bone graft substitute including an osteoinductive calcium phosphate component retained within a collagen scaffold, wherein the collagen scaffold is formulated to maintain the osteoinductivity of the calcium phosphate component while also exhibiting the following characteristics (1) ability to absorb bone marrow and/or other physiologic liquids, (2) compression resistance; (3) moldability; (4) retaining the calcium phosphate component during and after manipulation of the collagen scaffold and (5) fibrous collagen matrix that retains but does not occlude the osteoinductive calcium phosphate component.
