<p>The present invention relates to bone repair materials with improved cohesive and physical strength for use in stress-bearing defects or where the ability to produce and maintain the specific shape of an implant is important. The principle of creating a stable interface and conjugate between a protein-based particle and an organic matrix is also applicable to drug delivery materials and devices. The product comprises 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.</p> |
