Abstract
The invention relates to a biomaterial containing calcium phosphate, in particular hydroxyapatite or a material containing hydroxyapatite, such as biphasic calcium phosphates and calcium phosphate cements, and to the use thereof for the production of an implant or for fitting a prosthesis for the purpose of bone tissue regeneration.
Claims21
A biomaterial, comprising a calcium phosphate-comprising support, and at least one calcium-comprising coagulating agent in dry and/or solid powder form,
- wherein the support is selected from the group consisting of hydroxyapatite (HA) and a biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP),
- wherein the coagulating agent is present in a proportion ranging from 2.5 to 60 μmol of calcium per gram of HA or of BCP.
A kit comprising a combination of a calcium phosphate-comprising support with a calcium-derived coagulating agent in dry and/or powder form, wherein the support is selected from the group consisting of hydroxyapatite (HA) and a biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) support, the calcium-derived coagulating agent being present in a proportion ranging from 2.5 to 60 μmol of calcium per gram of HA or of BCP.
