Implantable calcium phosphate compositions and methods
An implantable composition is provided. The composition comprises porous ceramic granules. The porous ceramic granules comprise hydroxyapatite in an amount of about 8 to about 22 wt. % and beta-tricalcium phosphate in an amount of about 78 to about 92 wt. % based on a total weight of a ceramic granule. The composition includes a collagen carrier, and the porous ceramic granules have an average diameter from about 50 μm to 800 μm. Methods of making are also disclosed.
BONE VOID FILLER PREPARATION SYSTEM
A bone void filler preparation system that includes a processing vessel, a processing cover, a bone void filler preparation container and tubing. The processing vessel has a recess formed therein. The processing vessel is adapted to receive bone marrow aspirate. The processing cover includes an outer wall, a central wall member and a connection port. The outer wall has an upper edge and a lower edge. The central wall member extends inwardly from the outer wall intermediate the upper and lower edges of the processing cover. The central wall member has an aperture formed therein. The central wall member has a downwardly directed portion that defines an air-retaining region. The air-retaining region is closer to the outer wall upper edge than the aperture. The connection port is operably connected to the aperture. The processing cover is movable in the processing cover recess. The bone void filler preparation container has an inlet portion and an outlet port. The bone void filler preparation container is adapted to receive a bone void filler matrix therein. The tubing fluidly connects the processing cover connection port and the bone void filler preparation container inlet port.
