摘要:
A glass, glass ceramic, or ceramic bead is described, with an internal porous scaffold microstructure that is surrounded be an amorphous shield. The shield serves to protect the internal porous microstructure of the shield while increasing the overall strength of the porous microstructure and improve the flowability of the beads either by themselves or in devices such as biologically degradable putty that would be used in bone or soft tissue augmentation or regeneration. The open porosity present inside the bead will allow for enhanced degradability in-vivo as compared to solid particles or spheres and also promote the growth of tissues including but not limited to all types of bone, soft tissue, blood vessels and nerves.

摘要:
A resorbable tissue scaffold fabricated from bioactive glass fiber forms a rigid three-dimensional porous matrix having a bioactive composition. Porosity in the form of interconnected pore space is provided by the space between the bioactive glass fiber in the porous matrix. Strength of the bioresorbable matrix is provided by bioactive glass that fuses and bonds the bioactive glass fiber into the rigid three-dimensional matrix. The resorbable tissue scaffold supports tissue in-growth to provide osteoconductivity as a resorbable tissue scaffold, used for the repair of damaged and/or diseased bone tissue.

摘要:
Disclosed are glass compositions containing Beryllia in addition to various proportions of Silica, Alumina, Calcium, Magnesia, Sodium, Potassium, Iron, Titania, Zirconia, Manganese and/or Phosphorous. Fibers were produced from the disclosed compositions using standard glass processing equipment. These fibers yielded high temperature fibers having low density, high strength, high modulus, excellent glass surfaces requiring very little bonding material to hold the fibers together. Bio solubility is preferably promoted by ensuring that only trace quantities of alumina are present. Fibers having those properties are particularly suitable for producing high temperature glass fiber insulation for use in aircraft and other vehicles.
