A method of making infused bone particles employs the following steps: cutting or shaving whole bone into bone particles, washing the bone particles, demineralizing or decalcifying at least partially the whole bone or bone particles and infusing the bone particles with a supernatant of biologic material or a polyampholyte cryoprotectant or a combination of both to create infused bone particles. The step of infusing includes exposing the bone particles to a negative pressure or vacuum to draw the supernatant and/or the polyampholyte cryoprotectant into the bone particles, or alternatively, exposing the demineralized whole bone to a positive pressure to drive the supernatant and/or the polyampholyte cryoprotectant into the bone. The resultant method creates an infused bone grafting composition having bone particles taken from whole bone, demineralized or decalcified at least partially and infused with one or more of a supernatant of biologic material or a polyampholyte cryoprotectant or both.
