Abstract
The present invention relates to a novel bone graft and methods for producing said graft. Said bone graft can be used for surgical, plastic and/or cosmetic bone replacement for a patient in need thereof. The bone graft is made of a scaffold or matrix of sheet material having a 3-dimensional pattern of a continuous network of voids and/or indentations for enhancing new bone growth.
Claims25
A method for producing a sheet material for bone grafts, comprising the steps of
- providing a rectangular sheet of suitable biomaterial;
- introducing a surface pattern into said suitable biomaterial;
- and
- wherein said surface pattern is enhancing the osteo-conductivity of said biomaterial and is a 3-dimensional substantially continuous network having voids.

A method for producing a bone matrix scaffold, comprising the steps of
- providing at least one sheet material the sheet material having a surface pattern that enhances osteo-conductivity and potentially supports inductivity, wherein the surface pattern is a 3-dimensional substantially continuous network having voids;
- cross-linking said at least one sheet material using fibers;
- and
- whereby a macrostructure is formed having a substantially continuous network and voids.
