  • Patent number: 5728395
    Abstract: A hydroxylapatite base porous beads filler for use in cure of an injured or diseased part of bone of an organism. The porous filler is comprised of fired hydroxylapatite base beads each of which is formed with many pores. Each pore of the bead has a diameter of 1 to 100 .mu.m and a length larger than the diameter. Each bead has a porosity of 10 to 50% and a diameter of 0.02 to 20 mm. The pores of the bead may be filled with a solution containing a pharmaceutical in order to promote the cure of the injured or diseased part.

  • Patent number: 5266248
    Abstract: A method of producing a hydroxylapatite base porous beads filler for an organism, including mixing hydroxylapatite powder having particle sizes not larger than 125 .mu.m, in an amount ranging from 40 to 90% by weight, synthetic resin powder having particle sizes not larger than 74 .mu.m, in an amount ranging from 5 to 55% by weight, and resinous binder in an amount ranging from 0.5 to 5% by weight to obtain a mixture, granulating the mixture to form beads each having a diameter ranging from 0.03 to 25 mm, firing the beads at a temperature ranging from 900.degree. C. to 1180.degree. C. to form hydroxylapatite base porous beads, dipping the porous beads in a colloidal solution, removing air from the porous beads under vacuum, and filling the colloidal solution into the pores in the porous beads under pressure.
