摘要:
The present invention discloses vanadium-based insulin-mimetic agent composite coatings, application of these coatings onto implantable devices, and use of the implantable devices for accelerating osseous healing. The invention also encompasses methods of manufacturing implantable devices coated with vanadium-based insulin-mimetic agent composite coatings and the implantable devices so manufactured. The implantable devices have wide applications, including but not limited to treating bone fracture, bone trauma, arthrodesis, and other bone deficit conditions, as well as bone injuries incurred in military and sports activities.
摘要:
Bone tissue materials comprising insulin-mimetic agents, such as suitable zinc, vanadium, tungsten, molybdenum, niobium, selenium, and manganese compounds, for facilitating spinal fusion of vertebrae in spinal fusion surgical procedures, and methods thereof. Additionally provided is a bone tissue kit for facilitating fusion of vertebrae in a spinal fusion surgical procedure including a composition formulated for facile application in a spinal fusion procedure comprising an insulin-mimetic agent and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Yet further provided is an implantable device for enhancing spinal fusion including a prosthetic implant configured to stabilize and promote the fusion of two adjacent vertebrae, wherein the bone tissue contacting surfaces of the prosthetic implant are coated with a composition comprising an insulin-mimetic agent.
摘要:
Methods of promoting bone healing or regeneration by locally administering insulin mimetic agents to patients in need thereof and new uses of insulin-mimetic compounds for accelerating bone-healing processes are disclosed. Bone injury treatment and void filler devices, products and kit suitable for local administration of insulin-mimetic agents or compositions thereof to patients in need of such treatment are also disclosed.
