1-26. (canceled)
A bone implant matrix comprising:
- a base matrix;
- and
- a reinforcing mixture containing at least a polymer,
- wherein the base matrix is treated with the reinforcing mixture.
A method for preparing a bone implant matrix, the method comprising:
- preparing a solution of a reinforcing mixture containing at least a polymer;
- dipping a base matrix into said reinforcing mixture solution;
- and then
- removing solvent residues from the bone implant matrix by at least one of drying and degassing the bone implant matrix.
A matrix for bone implants, the matrix comprising:
- a base matrix treated with a reinforcing mixture containing at least a polymer,
- wherein the base matrix comprises one of:
- a synthetic material and selected from the group consisting of polymeric, metallic, ceramic, bio-ceramic and bio-glass, and
- a natural material selected from the group consisting of demineralised bone matrixes, non-demineralised bone matrixes, natural polymeric matrixes and mineral matrixes.
