Abstract
This invention provides biocompatible, load bearing compositions adapted for bone filling and restorative applications or purposes. One embodiment of this invention includes curable compositions comprising carbon coated composite particles in a polymerizable mixture. Another comprises carbon coated composite particles combined with autogenous bone. These mixtures may be adhered to metals, ceramics, and natural bone tissues. Embodiments of this invention are highly compatible with natural bone tissue and are capable of bearing significant loads.
Claims26
A curable composition consisting essentially of biocompatible detectable composite particles having an exposed surface of carbon and a polymerizable mixture.
A method for bone filling or restoration comprising the steps of applying a curable composition consisting essentially of biocompatible detectable composite particles having an exposed surface of carbon and a polymerizable mixture to bony tissue and curing the composition to provide a load bearing hardened composition.
A composition consisting essentially of biocompatible detectable composite particles having an exposed surface of carbon and autogenous bone.
A method of bone filling or restoration comprising the step of applying to a patient a composition consisting essentially of biocompatible detectable composite particles having an exposed surface of carbon and autogenous bone.
