Malleable multi-component implants and materials therefor

摘要

Described are implantable, malleable medical materials comprising mineral particles, insoluble collagen fibers, and a gel-forming polysaccharide component and/or another added gel-former. The malleable medical materials can be used treat bone or other tissue defects in patients, including in conjunction with biologically active factors such as osteogenic proteins. Also described are methods and materials that can be used to prepare the malleable medical materials.

主权项

1. An implantable medical material, comprising:
a malleable, cohesive, shape-retaining putty comprising about 40% to about 75% by weight of water; polyethylene glycol; said putty including mineral particles dispersed therein at a level of about 0.25 g/cc to about 0.55 g/cc, the mineral particles comprising biphasic calcium phosphate having a weight ratio of tricalcium phosphate:hydroxyapatite of about 70:30 to about 95:5; said putty including insoluble collagen particles at a level of about 0.04 g/cc to about 0.15 g/cc, and soluble collagen particles, wherein the insoluble collagen particles to soluble collagen particles are at a weight ratio of 75:25 to about 65:35; and said putty including a polysaccharide component at a level of about 0.01 g/cc to about 0.2 g/cc, and said polysaccharide component comprising dextran and one or more ionic polysaccharide compounds, wherein the ionic polysaccharide compounds form anionically-cross-linked gel with one or more divalent or trivalent cations.
