Estimating the term…
The invention is directed to a method of debriding bone including incubating the bone and associated soft tissue, with one or more debriding solutions where the debriding solution may include one or more alkaline solutions. Incubation is optionally carried out with one or more debriding agents including inert dry granular or particulate material including for example beads, and the granular phase of an alkaline agent, including for example granular sodium hydroxide. The incubating may be carried out with agitation. In another embodiment, the medullary canal of the bone is subjected to a positive pressure stream of debriding solution under conditions sufficient to loosen the associated soft tissue from the bone at the interface of the soft tissue and bone. In a further embodiment, the debriding solution is provided as a gel.
A process for debriding bone including soft tissue, comprising:
A process for debriding bone including soft tissue comprising contacting said bone with one or more debriding solutions under conditions sufficient to loosen said soft tissue from said bone to produce a first processed bone, and removing said soft tissue from said first processed bone to produce a debrided bone, wherein said debriding solution comprises one or more alkaline solutions of concentration from 0.1 N to 1.0 N, and wherein said alkaline solutions comprise one or more alkaline members selected from the group consisting of:
A process for debriding bone including soft tissue comprising contacting said bone with one or more debriding solutions under conditions sufficient to loosen said soft tissue from said bone to produce a first processed bone, and removing said soft tissue from said first processed bone to produce a debrided bone, wherein said removing step comprises injecting air between said soft tissue and said bone and subjecting said bone and said soft tissue to a flow of aqueous removal solution.
A process for debriding bone including soft tissue comprising contacting said bone including soft tissue with one or more debriding agents under conditions sufficient to loosen said soft tissue from said bone to produce a first processed bone, and removing said soft tissue from said first processed bone to produce a debrided bone, wherein said debriding agents comprise a granular alkaline agent.
A process for debriding bone including soft tissue, comprising:
A process for debriding bone including soft tissue, comprising:
A process for debriding bone including soft tissue comprising contacting in a closed container said bone including tissue with one or more debriding agents under conditions sufficient to loosen said soft tissue from said bone to produce a first processed bone, and removing said soft tissue from said first processed bone to produce a debrided bone.
A process for debriding bone including soft tissue comprising contacting in a closed container said bone including soft tissue with one or more debriding agents and one or more debriding solutions, under conditions sufficient to loosen said soft tissue from said bone to produce a first processed bone, and removing said soft tissue from said first processed bone to produce a debrided bone.
A process for debriding bone including soft tissue comprising contacting said bone including soft tissue with one or more debriding agents and one or more debriding solutions, under conditions sufficient to loosen said soft tissue from said bone to produce a first processed bone, and removing said soft tissue from said first processed bone to produce a debrided bone, wherein said debriding agents comprise a granular alkaline agent.
A process for debriding bone including soft tissue comprising contacting in a closed container said bone with one or more debriding solutions under conditions sufficient to loosen said soft tissue from said bone to produce a first processed bone, and removing said soft tissue from said first processed bone produce a debrided bone.
A process for debriding bone including soft tissue comprising contacting said bone including soft tissue with one or more debriding agents under conditions sufficient to loosen said soft tissue from said bone to produce a first processed bone, and removing said soft tissue from said first processed bone to produce a debrided bone, wherein said contacting comprises agitating said bone with said one or more debriding agents, and wherein said agitating comprises rolling.
A process for debriding bone including soft tissue comprising contacting said bone including soft tissue with one or more debriding agents and one or more debriding solutions, under conditions sufficient to loosen said soft tissue from said bone to produce a first processed bone, and removing said soft tissue from said first processed bone to produce a debrided bone, wherein said contacting comprises agitating said bone with said one or more debriding agents, and wherein said agitating comprises rolling.
