  • Publication number: 20130122057
    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.

  • Publication number: 20120288446
    Abstract: Compositions and methods of their use to adhere a variety of materials together are disclosed herein. The compositions include at least multivalent metal compound, an effective amount of a compound that is structurally similar to phosphoserine, and can be mixed with an aqueous solution. The compositions provide adhesive and cohesive strength in both wet and dry environments which exhibit bond strength upon curing with the possible usage as bone cement for bone filler applications.

  • Publication number: 20110277931
    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 contain 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.

  • Publication number: 20110152195
    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.
