Abstract
A self-supporting composite bioactive material and method of making it, which comprises immersing a body of collagen in a solution comprising a calcium phosphate and a phosphoprotein (preferably containing o-phosphoserine residues) to deposit on the collagen a mineralized layer of calcium phosphate and the phosphoprotein.
Claims7
A self supporting composite bioactive material comprising a collagen substrate carrying a layer comprising a phosphoprotein and calcium phosphate deposited from a solution comprising the phosphoprotein and calcium phosphate.
A method of making a self supporting composite bioactive material which method comprises immersing a body of collagen in a solution comprising calcium phosphate and phosphoprotein for a period sufficient to deposit on the collagen a mineralised layer of calcium phosphate and phosphoprotein.
