<p>A process and product comprising collagen and demineralized bone particles. The product may contain a maximum of 20 % by weight inorganic materials. The product may be densified by compression. Additional osteogenic factors, mitogens, drugs or antibiotics may be incorporated therein. Inorganic materials may be bound to the organic matrix via precoating with a calcium or hydroxyapatite binding protein, peptide or amino acid. The materials also display long lasting drug release characteristics. The subject of this invention is a process and resultant composition which increases the rate and predictability of osteoinduction by demineralized bone matrix. In particular, this invention relates to compositions of demineralized bone and calcium or other mineral salts which exhibit enhanced osteogenic potential. This invention further relates to osteogenic compositions comprising between about 60 % to 90 % demineralized bone by weight and to compositions comprising a carrier and alkaline phosphatase capable of inducing bone-like structures.</p> |
