Estimating the term…
A corrective agent used for the covering and/or filling of bone defects, comprising a solution forming a gel at body temperature which comprises a physiological saline solution containing at least one polysaccharide and/or gelatin. Other additives may also be present. The corrective agent can be prepared by boiling the at least one polysaccharide and/or gelatin in the physiological saline solution to dissolve and sterilize. The corrective agent is then generally maintained above the temperature at which solidification to a gel occurs until use, though it may be gelled and once reheated. Other additives may also be present, with time of addition depending upon the thermal susceptibility of the additives. The corrective agent is used by coating the same on the area to be covered and/or filled.
A corrective agent for the covering and/or filling of bone defects, comprising a physiological saline solution containing (1) at least one polysaccharide and/or gelatin and (2) at least one substance stimulating bone formation and/or bone growth, said solution being in liquid solution form at a temperature above body temperature but below the temperature at which body tissue is permanently damaged or coagulates and said solution forming a stable gel at body temperature.
A method of covering and/or filling bone defects which comprises applying to the defective area in flowable liquid form as a corrective agent a physiological saline solution containing at least one polysaccharide and/or gelatin at a temperature above body temperature but below the temperature at which body tissue is permanently damaged or coagulates and then allowing said solution to cool to a stable gel, whereby cavities formed around the defect are filled and where an implant is used, any gaps between the defect and the implant are filled.
