Abstract
A method of coating a bone material in a container is provided. The method comprising adding the bone material to an opening of the container and sealing the opening of the container so that the bone material is disposed within an interior of the container; adding a liquid coating material to the interior of the container through an inlet of the container so as to coat at least a portion of the bone material with the liquid coating material; removing any excess coating material from the container from the interior through an outlet of the container; and removing the coated bone material from the container. A system of coating bone material under a sterilized environment is also provided.

A method of coating a bone material in a container, the method comprising adding the bone material to an opening of the container and sealing the opening of the container so that the bone material is disposed within an interior of the container;
- adding a liquid coating material to the interior of the container through an inlet of the container so as to coat at least a portion of the bone material with the liquid coating material;
- removing any excess coating material from the container from the interior through an outlet of the container;
- and removing the coated bone material from the container.
A method of coating a bone material in a sterile container, the method comprising adding the bone material to an opening of the container and sealing the opening of the container so that the bone material is disposed within an interior of the container;
- adding a liquid coating material to the interior of the container through an inlet of the container so as to coat at least a portion of the bone material with the liquid coating material;
- removing any excess coating material from the container from the interior through an outlet of the container;
- adding a second liquid coating material into the interior of the container through the inlet of the container to form a mineral coating on the bone material;
- removing any excess second coating material from the container from the interior through the outlet of the container;
- and removing the coated bone material from the container.
A system for making a coated bone material under a sterilized environment, the system comprising a container comprising an opening configured for adding bone material to be coated, a seal configure to enclose the bone material in the interior of the container, an inlet configured to add a coating liquid to the interior of the container, an outlet configured to remove any excess coating material from the interior of the container, and a sensor configured to detect a parameter within the interior of the container;
- a reactor configured to receive and hold the container, the reactor having a balance and a heating element;
- a bone material having the porosity to receive a coating;
- and a coating material.
