  • Publication number: 20190336191
    Abstract: A bone material for hydration with a liquid is provided, the bone material comprising a coherent mass of milled and demineralized bone fibers, the coherent mass having no binder disposed in or on the coherent mass. In some embodiments, a bone material for hydration with a liquid is provided, the bone material comprising a coherent mass of cartridge milled, lyophilized and demineralized bone fibers, the coherent mass having no binder on the coherent mass. In some embodiments, a method of implanting a bone material is provided, the method comprising contacting the bone material with a liquid, the bone material comprising a coherent mass of cartridge milled, lyophilized and demineralized bone fibers, the coherent mass having no binder disposed in or on the coherent mass; molding the bone material into a shape to implant the bone material; and implanting the bone material at the target tissue site.

  • Publication number: 20130236513
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present inventions comprise composites of polyurethane(s), osteoconductive matrix, and, optionally, a growth factor. Embodiments further comprise methods of making such composite and uses thereof. The osteoconductive matrix can be a tricalcium phosphate, bioglass, or the like, and can include particles that are surface modified. Growth factors can be provided in powder form, including bone morphogenic proteins such as rhBMP-2. A composition may be moldable and/or injectable. After implantation or injection, a composition may be set to form a porous composite that provides mechanical strength and supports the in-growth of cells.
