Abstract: The invention relates to a preserved, deantigenated tissue matrix of an animal or human hollow organ, e.g. of a blood vessel, of the ureter or urinary bladder, which matrix is autologous, allogenic or xenogenic with respect to a recipient and whose biomechanical properties are not or only slightly impaired by such preservation, which does not include any infectious particles from the donor and is excellently suited for coating with recipient endothelial, epithelial, fibroblast, or muscle cells in order to produce autologous grafts for said recipient. The invention is also directed to a method of producing said tissue matrix and to the use thereof, as well as to the autologous graft produced therefrom, and to the production and use thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to a vertebral column implant for intercorporal fusion on the vertebral column, consisting of a body which consists of bone material and which is curved in the direction in which it extends longitudinally. The size of the implant is adapted to the intermediate vertebral space available between adjacent vertebrae after the intermediate vertebral body has been removed.

Abstract: The inventive bone implant for replacing defective joint sockets comprises a base body (10) consisting of preserved natural spongiosa with an approximately hemispherical cavity (12).

Abstract: The invention relates to a cranium implant that consists of an essentially plate-shaped implant body (1) made of spongious, cortical or compact bone material of human or animal origin.

Abstract: The invention relates to a preserved, deantigenated tissue matrix of an animal or human hollow organ, e.g. of a blood vessel, of the ureter or urinary bladder, which matrix is autologous, allogenic or xenogenic with respect to a recipient and whose biomechanical properties are not or only slightly impaired by such preservation, which does not include any infectious particles from the donor and is excellently suited for coating with recipient endothelial, epithelial, fibroblast, or muscle cells in order to produce autologous grafts for said recipient. The invention is also directed to a method of producing said tissue matrix and to the use thereof, as well as to the autologous graft produced therefrom, and to the production and use thereof.

Abstract: The invention concerns a rubber composition for making tyres, comprising a diene elastomer, a reinforcing inorganic filler, a polysulphide alkoxysilane as (inorganic filler/elastomer) coupling agent with which are associated an aldimine (of formula R—CH═N—R) and a guanidine derivative. The invention also concerns a tyre or semi-finished product for tyres comprising said rubber composition. The invention further concerns an (inorganic filler/elastomer) coupling system for a rubber composition reinforced with an inorganic filler, consisting of the combination of a polysulphide alkoxysilane, an aldimine (R—CH═N—R) and a guanidine derivative.
