Abstract: Certain small molecule amino acid phosphate compounds such as phosphoserine and certain multivalent metal compounds such as calcium phosphate containing cements have been found to have improved properties and form an interpenetrating network in the presence of a polymer that contains either an electronegative carbonyl oxygen atom of the ester group or an electronegative nitrogen atom of the amine group as the bonding sites of the polymer surfaces to the available multivalent metal ions.

Abstract: A non-invasive device for anchoring a suture includes a sheet to which a suture can be attached and an adhesive that can affix the sheet to bone. The method provides placing effective amount of an adhesive on a bone and attaching the suture to the adhesive and allowing the adhesive to set.

Abstract: A stand for use with a syringe is disclosed. The stand includes a base and a clip affixed to the base. The clip engages a portion of the syringe so as to removably secure the syringe to the stand in a position such that the distal end of the syringe is spaced vertically away from the base. Preferably, the syringe includes a handle extending outwardly from a barrel of the syringe, and the feature which the clip engages includes the handle of the syringe.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a bone cement precursor system that is presented in the form of two shelf-stable pastes which have been terminally sterilized and are held in separate containers during product transport and storage. When the product is used during surgery, these pastes inject to a site of application through a static mixing device by the action of applied injection force. When the two pastes are mixed, they start to react to each other while injecting out. The resulting composition is highly biocompatible, osteoconductive, injectable, rapid setting and bioresorbable, and is useful in connection with bone repair procedures, for example, in the craniomaxillofacial, trauma and orthopedic areas.

Abstract: Cements containing certain small molecule amino acid phosphate compounds such as phosphoserine and certain multivalent metal compounds such as but not limited to calcium phosphate have been found to have improved properties and form a macromolecular network in the presence of a bioactive glass material that contain silicates, phosphates, and calcium salts which can be involved in the formation of bonding sites.

Abstract: A stand for use with a syringe is structured to engage a portion of the syringe in order to maintain the syringe in an upright position. The stand may include an aperture structured to engage the nozzle or the plunger of the syringe. Another embodiment of the stand may include a protrusion structured to engage the proximal end of the syringe, or a clip structured to engage a handle of the syringe. The stand may include a package portion having compartments for holding various components, such as components of a bone cement preparation kit. The proximal and distal portions of the barrel of the syringe may be separable to provide an opening into the barrel through which an injectable material may be inserted. The plunger of the syringe may also include a plunger rod removably affixed to the plunger tip.

Abstract: The invention is related to a rapid setting calcium phosphate cement comprising a powdered first component comprising stabilized dicalcium phosphate dihydrous containing from about 10 ppm to about 60 ppm of magnesium, a powdered second component comprising a calcium phosphate mineral other than said stabilized dicalcium phosphate dihydrous, and a liquid third component comprising water.

Abstract: A stand for use with a syringe having a proximal end and a distal end is disclosed. The stand includes a base and a protrusion extending from the base. The protrusion is adapted to engage the proximal end of the syringe so as to maintain the syringe in a position such that the distal end of the syringe has a vertical position above a vertical position of the proximal end. The protrusion may be structured so as to extend into the proximal end of the syringe and/or form a pressure fit within the syringe. The stand may include a support that contacts a portion of the syringe located between the proximal and distal ends thereof so as to maintain a position of the syringe. Methods for using such a stand as well as kits including a syringe and stand are also disclosed.
