NON-AQUEOUS COMPOSITIONS FOR TREATMENT OF ORTHOPEDIC DEFECTS AND DELIVERY OF BIOACTIVE AGENTS

摘要

This invention relates to non-aqueous compositions for drug delivery and compositions, which can take the place of bone. The non-aqueous, ready-to-use cement is comprised of the following: an inorganic salt capable of hydration and precipitation such as calcium sulfate or phosphate salt, an organic polymer such as ethyl cellulose, and a non-aqueous solvent such as N-methylpyrrolidone.
