Abstract: A demineralized bone matrix (DBM) scaffold product comprising a plurality of elongate demineralised bone fibres mechanically interconnected with one another in a regular and repeating pattern.

Abstract: Apparatus for producing strips of bone fibre comprising a vice for securing a section of rigid bone with which said apparatus is used, said vice defining a containment area and having a compression axis with which a longitudinal axis of said bone is substantially aligned in use, an arm for reciprocal linear movement along a movement axis between a rearward position and a forward position, said movement axis being parallel with said compression axis and spaced therefrom in a lateral plane, a first drive mechanism for moving said arm along said movement axis in a reciprocal manner, and a cutting head comprising a first row of cutting teeth, which cutting head is mounted to a first end of said arm with said first row of cutting teeth coincident with said containment area and disecting said lateral plane, and a method of producing a DBM fibres product using such apparatus.

Abstract: Bone repair composition and method of making the same, the bone repair composition being formed by firstly mixing a first aqueous calcium phosphate suspension with bone graft granules to form an intermediate mixture. The intermediate mixture is then mixed with a second aqueous calcium phosphate suspension, wherein the first aqueous calcium phosphate suspension contains a lower weight concentration of calcium phosphate than the second aqueous calcium phosphate suspension.
