BONE IMPLANT COMPOSITION
This present invention discloses a bone implant composition which comprises about 50˜70% by weight of ceramic particles, wherein the ceramic particles composes tricalcium phosphate and bioactive glass; and about 30˜50% by weight of carrier. The carrier provides good ability of operation and shaping, so the bone implant composition can be filled into a human body by various shapes. Because of high ratio of ceramic particles, it can still construct supports even if carrier is degraded within a short time after implanted, which is beneficial for adhesion and growth of new bone cells, and also promotes healing of bone defect.
