摘要:
The present disclosure is directed to a bioresorbable ceramic composition having a plurality of biocompatible ceramic granules, each of the granules having a coating of a plurality of calcium containing particles, where at least a portion of the particles are bound to at least a portion of an outer surface of each of the granules, and further where the composition is flowable in a dry state. The present disclosure is also directed to a three dimensional scaffold for bone repair that includes the bioresorbable composition, which upon implantation to a locus of repair defines an interconnected pore network between outer walls of the coated granules of the composition. Finally, the present disclosure is directed to methods of forming both the bioresorbable ceramic composition and the three-dimensional ceramic scaffold.
摘要:
Methods and devices are shown for a composite material that is easily applied to a surface such as a bone defect in need of filling or reinforcement, etc. The composite material provides good mechanical properties such as compressive strength upon curing in the presence of water. Selected materials and methods as described are further bioabsorbable with absorption rates that are controllable to provide desired morphology over time. In selected embodiments a pharmaceutical agent further provides benefits such as bone growth, infection resistance, pain management, etc.
