A glass ceramic biomaterial (1) comprises SrO, ZnO, CaO, SiO2 and Na2O. The biomaterial (1) has a crystalline atomic structure. The biomaterial (1) is provided in the form of a porous foam. the biomaterial (1) with the crystalline atomic structure is degradable for release of bioactive Sr2+ ions and for release of bioactive Zn2+ ions. The Sr2+ ions may assist with bone regeneration, and the Zn2+ ions may provide an anti-bacterial function. <Figure 1> |
