METHOD TO IMPREGNATE A POROUS BONE REPLACEMENT MATERIAL

摘要

The invention relates to a method to impregnate a porous bone replacement material with a liquid impregnating agent, wherein: a) the bone replacement material is or will be enclosed in a chamber with two openings that can be closed; b) the impregnating agent is introduced into the chamber until the bone replacement material is at least partly immersed in the impregnating agent; c) one of the two openings will be closed; d) the chamber is evacuated at least partly via the other, open, opening so that the air contained in the pores of the bone replacement material is at least partly removed from it; e) the vacuum produced in the chamber is terminated again by supplying air or a gas through one of the openings; and f) the vacuum produced in the pores of the bone replacement material is terminated by the impregnating agent penetrating into the pores of the bone replacement material immersed into the impregnating agent.
