Composite Material Consisting of a Collagen Matrix Mineralised with Silicate and Calcium Phosphate Phases, Method for the Production and Use Thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to novel composite materials based on a collagen matrix mineralised with silicate and calcium phosphate phases, to a method for the production thereof and use thereof as an implant material which can be shaped in a plurality of ways, a biological coating or active substance carrier. The claimed composite material comprises a collagen matrix which is mineralised with silicate and a calcium phosphate phase, said collagen being a recombinate collagen, collagen from Eumetazoa, sponge collagen from a sponge of the Demospongia class (horn sponges) or Calcarea (calcareous sponges), a synthetic collage analogue, a collagen derivative or a mixture of said collagens.
