  • Patent number: 8658713
    Abstract: A bone cement composition which contains titanium dioxide particles having a median diameter of 0.5 to 7.0 ?m as measured by a laser diffraction/scattering particle size distribution analyzer and a BET specific surface area of 0.5 to 7.0 m2/g as measured by a nitrogen adsorption method, and a base-forming component comprising a (meth)acrylate polymer and a (meth)acrylate monomer, wherein the content of the titanium dioxide particles is 5 to 50% by mass based on the total mass of the composition. The bone cement composition has bioactivity and is capable of forming a hardened material having a high mechanical strength.

  • Patent number: 8609746
    Abstract: A bone cement composition which contains large-diameter (meth)acrylate polymer particles having an average particle diameter of 10 to 60 ?m, small-diameter (meth)acrylate polymer particles having an average particle diameter of 0.1 to 2.0 ?m, a (meth)acrylate monomer and a polymerization initiator, wherein the content of the small-diameter (meth)acrylate polymer particles is 5 to 30% by mass based on the total mass of the small-diameter (meth)acrylate polymer particles and the large-diameter (meth)acrylate polymer particles, and a part or a whole of the small-diameter (meth)acrylate polymer particles are contained in the form of aggregates having an average particle diameter of 30 to 50 ?m.

  • Publication number: 20120035296
    Abstract: The invention has as its objects the provision of a bone cement composition, a bone cement composition kit for obtaining the bone cement composition, and a production method of a bone cement hardened material, which are short in doughing time that is a time required to become a state in which a good handling operation can be conducted, and have consequently capable of achieving a high working efficiency by shortening the time required before the handling operation is started. The bone cement composition of the invention contains large-diameter (meth)acrylate polymer particles having an average particle diameter of 10 to 60 ?m, small-diameter (meth)acrylate polymer particles having an average particle diameter of 0.1 to 2.0 ?m, a (meth)acrylate monomer and a polymerization initiator, wherein the content of the small-diameter (meth)acrylate polymer particles is 5 to 30% by mass based on the total mass of the small-diameter (meth)acrylate polymer particles and the large-diameter (meth)acrylate polymer particles.
