Abstract
Described are bone generation matrixes having an admixture of demineralized bone matrix (DBM) particles and/or bone chips in combination with at least one binding agent selected from the group consisting of alginate, lectin, pectin, gellan gum, starch, collagen and combinations thereof in an aqueous solvent, wherein the DBM particles and/or bone chips are present in an amount of at least 65% by dry weight and the ratio of the aqueous solvent to the dry weight of the DBM particles/bone chips and at least one binding agent is between about 1:1 to about 1:6.
Claims13
A demineralized bone matrix (DBM) composition, comprising:
- an admixture of demineralized bone matrix (DBM) particles and at least one binding agent comprising alginate in an aqueous solvent;
- wherein the DBM particles are present in an amount of at least 65% by dry weight of the total dry weight of the composition;
- and wherein the admixture of demineralized bone matrix particles and at least one binding agent forms a three-dimensionally stable porous sheet material.
