A bone gel composition comprising cortical bone is provided. The cortical bone is made from cut pieces freeze-dried then ground into particles and demineralized then freeze-dried. A volume of the particles is placed in a solution of sterile water to create a mixture, the water volume being twice the second portion, the mixture is autoclaved under heat and pressure to form a gelatin, the resulting bone gel is placed in jars and kept at room temperature or frozen for later use. The cortical bone has the cut pieces having a width, a length and a thickness in the range of 1 to 4 mm. The cortical bone pieces are ground to a particle size up to 125 microns.
A method of making a bone gel composition, comprising:
(canceled)
A method of repairing a bone defect or void, comprising administering a bone gel composition to the bone defect or void without the addition of collagen or other gelatinous material, wherein the bone gel composition comprises ground particles of demineralized and freeze-dried cortical bone having a size up to 125 microns.
