Definitions

  • Monolithic bone intended for implantation is treated in order to conserve its
  • This treatment is useful when combined with a number of methods of dehydrating the bone, e.g. dehydrating under ambient or near ambient conditions,
  • processing e.g., to preserve the graft for later use and to remove immunogenic cellular materials
  • the porous matrix is typically contacted with one or more treatment fluids to variously clean, defat, sterilize, virally inactivate, disinfect, and/or demineralize the bone or to impregnate the bone with one or more pharmacological agents (antibiotics, bone growth factors, etc.) so the bone can act as a drug delivery system.
  • one or more treatment fluids to variously clean, defat, sterilize, virally inactivate, disinfect, and/or demineralize the bone or to impregnate the bone with one or more pharmacological agents (antibiotics, bone growth factors, etc.) so the bone can act as a drug delivery system.
  • Some treatment processes can work against conservation of the mechanical strength of bone and can lessen the bone's weight bearing properties. Processing requirements can also create dimensional changes in the allograft bone. Such changes of dimension can create damage within the tissue, and may also make it difficult for a machined piece to mechanically engage with surgical instruments, other allografts, or the prepared surgical
  • Lyophilization freeze-drying, i.e., freezing, then sublimation of moisture
  • Lyophilization can result in damage to the bone due to dimensional changes that occur during the freezing and dehydrating operations.
  • the adverse mechanical changes appear to be associated with damage occurring in the bone matrix, specifically, ultrastructural cracks along the collagen fibers.
  • the mechanical strength- conserving agent is not acting as a cryopreservative (i.e., minimizing crystal growth during freezing) but rather in some new, not entirely understood, manner to diminish the dimensional changes associated with lyophilization. It has been determined that the diminishment of dimensional changes is related to the extent to which the mechanical strength- conserving agent is not acting as a cryopreservative (i.e., minimizing crystal growth during freezing) but rather in some new, not entirely understood, manner to diminish the dimensional changes associated with lyophilization. It has been determined that the diminishment of dimensional changes is related to the extent to which the mechanical

Abstract

L'invention concerne un os monolithique pour implant, traité pour conserver sa résistance mécanique en phase de déshydratation et de conditionnement ultérieur, l'objectif étant également de maintenir la résistance de l'os en cours de stockage, avant la réhydratation et l'implantation. On met l'os en contact avec une quantité d'au moins un agent biocompatible de conservation de résistance mécanique. Il s'agit d'un matériau organique liquide capable de pénétrer dans l'os et de s'y maintenir durant la déshydratation, le conditionnement et le stockage de l'os. Ensuite, on déshydrate l'os renfermant l'agent considéré et on le conditionne.
