摘要:
Methods and compositions are provided for preparing storage stable partially neutralized acid compositions. The partially neutralized acid compositions are amenable to prolonged periods of storage. Following storage, the acids can be neutralized with a calcium neutralizing source and combined with a lubricant to form a rapidly setting calcium phosphate mineral suitable for a variety of purposes, e.g. bone replacement.

Methods for producing a room temperature stable, phase pure .alpha.-C.sub.3 P product, and compositions derived therefrom, are provided. In the subject method, a tricalcium phosphate source is heated to a temperature sufficient to convert substantially all of said tricalcium phosphate source to a substantially phase pure .alpha.-C.sub.3 P product. The temperature of the resultant product is rapidly cooled to a temperature below about 700.degree. C., resulting in a room temperature stable, reactive .alpha.-C.sub.3 P product. The resultant .alpha.-C.sub.3 P product may be milled to provide an .alpha.-C.sub.3 P composition which may find use in the preparation of calcium phosphate cements.
摘要:
The present invention relates in general to implantable compositions, and method for preparing same, containing a calcium salt-containing component, optionally demineralized bone, a plurality of discrete fibers, optionally a flow additive, and optionally continuous reinforcing fibers or an array of organized fibers in the form of mesh. Advantageously, the discrete fibers have a specific aspect ratio (length/diameter) from about 50:1 to about 1000:1. The addition of a small amount of discrete fibers and/or the continuous reinforcing fibers or fiber mesh can cause drastic increases in certain mechanical properties including flexural strength, flexural toughness, and/or screw pullout strength.

摘要:
A flowable, paste-like composition capable of setting in a clinically relevant period of time into an antimicrobial agent loaded apatitic product having sufficient compressive strength to serve as a cancellous bone structural material is provided. The subject compositions are prepared by combining dry ingredients with a physiologically acceptable lubricant and an antimicrobial agent, where the dry ingredients comprise at least two different calcium phosphates. The subject compositions find use in a variety of different applications, including orthopaedic, dental and cranio-maxillofacial applications.
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:
Carbonated hydroxyapatite compositions and their preparation are described. The compositions are biologically resorbable and are prepared as flowable masses which can be administered by syringe to set in situ to serve as a support structure, filler, prosthesis or the like. Optionally the compositions may include proteins or serve as a depot for compositions of pharmacological interest.
