Implant material and method of producing the same.

摘要

An implant material for bone or soft tissue reconstruction and regeneration is composed of a sintered calcium phosphate evenly dispersed within a silicone elastomer. After hardening, the mixture can be easily shaped or formed as needed to match or conform to existing tissues. Actual bone regrowth is promoted by insuring surface availability of sintered calcium phosphate and sufficient porosity. Bone ingrowth can be assisted through the provision of conduction pores. The calcium phosphate preferably constitutes 30 - 75% by weight of the final product.
