Claims18
A cohesive bone composition comprises:
- a moldable bone composition mixed with a bone gel composition;
- the moldable bone composition consisting of a mixture of cortical bone and cancellous bone, the cortical bone is formed in three portions, a mineralized shaving portion and a demineralized shaving portion and a mineralized powder portion, the cancellous bone is formed in a mineralized crushed cancellous portion, the portions are freeze-dried and mixed together to form a freeze-dried bone composition and when subjected to a fluid, the composition can be molded to a desired shape;
- the bone gel composition consisting of cortical bone consists of cortical bone made from cut pieces freeze dried then ground into particles and demineralized then freeze-dried, wherein a volume of the particles is placed in a solution of sterile water to create a mixture, the water volume being twice the volume of the particles, the mixture is autoclaved under heat and pressure to form a gelatin, the resulting bone gel is placed in jars for later use;
- and
- wherein a volume of moldable bone composition is mixed with a volume of the bone gel composition and wetted with a fluid to form the cohesive bone composition.
