| 20100324500 | Bone-Replacement Materials, Methods and Devices - A bone graft material is provided comprising granules of synthetic bone material, at least some of which have a solid coating comprising a blood-clotting agent. A device for delivering bone-replacement material to a an area to be treated is also provided, the device comprising: a chamber for containing bone-replacement material, wherein the chamber is pre-loaded and/or pre-coated on an interior surface thereof with a blood-clotting agent; means for introducing bone-replacement material into the chamber to contact the blood-clotting agent; and a means for delivering the bone-substitute material from the chamber to the area to be treated. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20100322867 | BIOMEDICAL MATERIALS - A synthetic calcium phosphate-based biomedical material comprising gadolinium. The material may comprise a compound having the general chemical formula: Ca | 12-23-2010 |
| 20100262258 | BIOMEDICAL MATERIALS - The present invention provides a process for the preparation of a silicate and carbonate co-substituted calcium phosphate material. The process comprises the steps of: forming a silicon and optionally carbon-containing calcium phosphate precipitate by an aqueous precipitation method involving preparing an aqueous solution comprising phosphate ions, silicate ions, calcium ions and optionally carbonate ions, wherein the ratio of Ca/P and of Ca/(P+Si) in the solution is maintained above approximately 1.67; and heating the precipitate in an atmosphere comprising carbon and oxygen to form a silicate and carbonate co-substituted calcium phosphate material. The present invention also provides a synthetic carbonate and silicate co-substituted hydroxyapatite material, as well as a biomedical material. | 10-14-2010 |
