HYDRATABLE AND FLOWABLE IMPLANTABLE COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING THEM
Implantable bone compositions are provided. The implantable compositions comprise hydratable bone putties. The hydratable bone putties comprise porous ceramic granules having an average diameter from about 50 m to 800 m and the composition has a texture value above about 1000. The porous ceramic granules comprise hydroxyapatite and beta-tricalcium phosphate. The implantable bone compositions further include collagen carriers. In some embodiments, the hydratable bone putty can be hydrated to form a non-settable flowable cohesive cement or gel. Methods of making and using the implantable compositions are also provided.
Liquid embolic compositions with controlled release of radiopaque and therapeutic compounds and methods of using the same
The various embodiments of the subject invention included herein provide transiently radiopaque liquid embolic compositions and methods used to embolize blood vessels and/or provide controlled release of therapeutic agents when desired.
