Abstract: Compositions and methods for achieving hemostasis. Hemostatic compositions comprise a phospholipid, and optionally, an anti-infective agent. The hemostatic composition can be administered to a bleeding bone to achieve hemostasis.

Abstract: This invention provides an apparatus and methods to consistently separate and concentrate selected blood components. The system includes, e.g., a computerized fluid handling system to transfer blood components between a centrifugal blood separation disc, containers and a concentrator.

Abstract: A method for rinsing and delivering a bone graft. The method includes selecting a delivery syringe containing bone graft material wherein the syringe is coupled to a filter assembly, determining a bone graft:fluid ratio, washing the bone graft material, reconstituting the bone graft material to generate the bone graft with the predetermined bone graft:fluid ratio, and delivering the bone graft to a surgical site.

Abstract: Infection-inhibiting compositions suitable for coating surfaces of implantable medical implants, including compositions and devices for coating medical devices in the operating room prior to implantation in a patient. Methods for inhibiting infection at the site of implantation of an orthopedic device in a human or animal subject, comprise rubbing a surface of the device, prior to implantation, with an infection-inhibiting composition having a waxy matrix comprising an infection-inhibiting material selected from the group consisting of a lipid, an antimicrobial agent, and mixtures thereof, wherein a thin layer of the infection-inhibiting material is deposited on the surface of the device. Medical implants which may be treated in the methods of this technology include orthopedic implants. Lipids include long-chain diacylglycerides or triacylglycerides, which may be saturated or unsaturated, such as lecithin or a purified form of phosphatidylcholine.

Abstract: Composites, constructs and implants comprising a non-resorbable polymer, such as polyetheretherketone (PEEK), having structure of interconnected struts, which may be coralline. Composites may comprise a first phase comprising a ceramic; and a second phase comprising a non-resorbable polymer; wherein each of the first and second phases have an interconnected strut structure and are substantially continuous through the composite. Implants may also comprise a non-porous component containing the non-resorbable polymer that is contiguous with a surface of the core, a surface of the porous layer (if present), or both. Methods are also provided comprising infusing a porous ceramic body, having a plurality of interconnected channels, with a non-resorbable polymer.
