Abstract
An osteogenic osteoimplant in the form of a flexible sheet comprising a coherent mass of bone-derived particles, the osteoimplant having a void volume not greater than about 32% and a method of making an osteogenic osteoimplant having not greater than about 32% void volume, the method comprising: providing a coherent mass of bone-derived particles; and, mechanically shaping the coherent mass of bone-derived particles to form an osteogenic osteoimplant in the form of a flexible sheet.
Claims28
A method of forming an osteogenic osteoimplant having not greater than 32% void volume, the method comprising:
- providing a coherent mass of bone particles optionally in combination with one or more biocompatible components, the coherent mass formed at least in part from elongate bone-derived elements optionally in combination with bone powder;
- and,
- mechanically shaping the coherent mass of bone particles to form the osteogenic osteoimplant.
