Abstract
Abrasive compositions which include bioactive materials, such as bioactive glass and bioactive ceramics, which provide biological properties such as anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-oxidant effects, improved wound healing, and/or other beneficial effects are provided. Methods for abrading human or animal tissue, such as human skin, by contacting such tissue with these abrasive compositions is also provided. When used as an abrasive material, these biological properties benefit the body surfaces being abraded.
Claims26
An abrasive material for abrading human or animal tissue comprising bioactive material selected from the group consisting of bioactive glass and bioactive ceramics.
A composition for use in a medical irrigation procedure comprising bioactive material.
A method for abrading human or animal tissue comprising contacting the tissue with a bioactive material.
A method for operating dermabrasion equipment comprising using the equipment to apply an abrasive material comprising a bioactive material to a human or animal tissue, whereby the dermabrasion equipment clogs substantially less than with abrasive materials not containing a bioactive material.
A method for preparing an abrasive material for abrading human or animal tissue comprising admixing a bioactive material with at least one other physiologically acceptable substance to make an abrasive material.
