  • Patent number: 8859824
    Abstract: Compounds are provided herein which are coordination complexes of the formula, AxByCit2Fz.mH2O, wherein A is a cation selected from certain IA or IIA metal ions in the Periodic Table; B is a cation selected from certain IIA metal ions and certain divalent d-block transition metal ions; A and B are different; “Cit” is tribasic citric acid anion; the stoichiometric ratio of x to y is equal or higher than 1.0 but lower than 8.0; m is 0-12; and z is selected such that electroneutrality is preserved. Compounds provided herein are useful to treat dietary deficiencies, osteoporosis, osteopenia, bone loss, and risk of bone loss, as well as other medical conditions involving the need for administration of the various ions. In addition, the compounds can be used as fluoride sources for dental use and to fluoridate water systems.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20010051833
    Abstract: This invention provides molded, biodegradable porous polymeric implant materials having a pore size distribution throughout the material which is substantially uniform. These materials can be molded into implants of any desired size and shape without loss of uniformity of pore size distribution. The implants are useful as biodegradable scaffolds for cell growth in healing of tissue defects. Particulate implant materials are provided, especially useful as autologous bone graft materials.

  • Patent number: 6203573
    Abstract: This invention provides molded, biodegradable porous polymeric implant materials having a pore size distribution throughout the material which is substantially uniform. These materials can be molded into implants of any desired size and shape without loss of uniformity of pore size distribution. The implants are useful as biodegradable scaffolds for cell growth in healing of tissue defects. When manufactured to have an aspect ratio greater than about 3, the implants can be further hand-shaped to fit the defect into which they are placed and the desired shape for the regrown tissue.
