DEMINERALIZED BONE PAPER
Disclosed herein are three-dimensional bone tissue grafts produced from stacked demineralized bone paper. Also disclosed are methods for treating a subject using tissue grafts produced from the disclosed demineralized bone paper. Also disclosed are assay systems that involves culturing bone-promoting cells on the disclosed demineralized bone paper.
SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND DEVICES INCLUDING A DEMINERALIZED BONE MATRIX (DBM) GRAFT WITH GELATIN CARRIER
Systems, methods, and devices include techniques for generating and using a demineralized bone matrix (DBM)-gelatin matrix allograft material. The DBM-gelatin material can be used to form an implant (e.g., for sternal closure operations) and/or a gel (e.g., for wound/fracture treatment). A method for forming the implant or bone graft can include forming the DBM from an initial bone material; and mixing, in a solution, the DBM with a gelatin carrier to form a DBM-gelatin solution. The gelatin carrier can include an animal-based collagen, such as a porcine-based collagen or a bovine-based collagen. Additionally, the method of forming the bone graft can include performing a crosslinking reaction with the DBM-gelatin solution. The implant can be packaged in a sterile hydration container prior to use.
Bioactive soft tissue implant and methods of manufacture and use thereof
A bioactive filamentary structure includes a sheath coated with a mixture of synthetic bone graft particles and a polymer solution forming a scaffold structure. In forming such a structure, synthetic bone graft particles and a polymer solution are applied around a filamentary structure. A polymer is precipitated from the polymer solution such that the synthetic bone graft particles and the polymer coat the filamentary structure and the polymer is adhered to the synthetic bone graft particles to retain the graft particles.
COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR CREATING NANOSCALE SURFACE GEOMETRIES ON METALS OF AN IMPLANTABLE DEVICE
Compositions and methods for etching a nanoscale geometry on a metal or metal alloy surface are disclosed. Such surfaces, when included on an implantable medical device, enhance healing after surgery. When included on a bone contacting medical implant, the nanoscale geometry may enhance osseointegration. When included on a tissue contacting device, the nanoscale geometry may enhance endothelial cell attachment, proliferation, and restoration of a healthy endothelial surface.
Viable disc regenerative composition and method of manufacture and use
A viable disc regenerative composition has a micronized material of nucleus pulposus and a biological composition made from a mixture of mechanically selected allogeneic biologic material derived from bone marrow having non-whole cellular components including vesicular components and active and inactive components of biological activity, cell fragments, cellular excretions, cellular derivatives, and extracellular components; and wherein the mixture is compatible with biologic function and further includes non-expanded whole cells. The biological composition is predisposed to demonstrate or support elaboration of active volume or spatial geometry consistent in morphology with that of disc tissue. The viable disc regenerative composition extends regenerative resonance that compliments or mimics disc tissue complexity.
METHOD FOR PREPARING A BONE PROTEIN PREPARATION AND A BONE PROTEIN PREPARATION
The present invention provides a method for preparing a bone protein preparation which contains for example growth factors. The present invention also provides a bone protein preparation obtained by the method and paste, putty, pellet, disc, block, granule, osteogenic device or pharmaceutical composition containing said bone protein preparation.
Method for retaining demineralized bone matrix particles
A filter device comprises a frame with interrupted perimeter having a top surface and a bottom surface and a screen having a plurality of pores is attached to the frame. The filter device designed to fit into an interior of a container. The container is configured to contain a mixture of Demineralised Bone Matrix (DBM) containing bone graft material and liquid. The liquid mixture can be poured out of the container through the pores in the screen on the filter device and separated from the bone graft material while the DBM containing the bone graft material remains in the container. The pores are sized smaller than DBM particles to prevent the DBM particles from separated from the bone graft material with the liquid.
Spinal implant system and method
A delivery system comprising an agent and a foldable covering including a first surface disposed with the agent and a second surface connectable with the first surface to intra-operatively dispose the covering in a selected configuration.
MALLEABLE, CRYOPRESERVED OSTEOGENIC COMPOSITIONS WITH VIABLE CELLS
A bone graft composition comprising a viable, osteogenic cellular material combined with a viscous cryoprotectant that includes a penetrating cryoprotective agent and a non-penetrating cryoprotective agent. The viscosity of the cryoprotectant is such that the composition is malleable, cohesive and capable of being formed into desired shapes.
