DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The osteoimplant of the present invention comprises a solid aggregate of bone-derived elements having chemical linkages between their surface-exposed collagen molecules thus bonding adjacent bone elements to each other. In order to expose the collagen located on the outer surface of bone, the bone elements must be at. least partially demineralized. Demineralization methods remove the mineral component of bone employing acid solutions.
Such methods as used by the present invention are wel l known in the art,,see for example, Reddi et al., Proc.
Nat. Acad. Sci. 69, pp1601-1605 (1972), incorporated herein by reference. The strength of the acid solution, the shape of the bone and the duration of the demineralization treatment will determine the extent of demineralization. Reference in this regard may be made to Lewandrowski et al., J. Hiomed Materials Res, 31, pp365-372 (1996),, also incorporated herein by reference. The sources for the bone-derived elements herein include _g_ SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) cortical and cancellous bone and are preferably allogenic but also include xenogenic sources such as bovine and porcine bone.
When prepared from bone-derived elements that are only superficially demineralized, the osteoimplant herein will tend to possess a fairly high compression strength, e.g., one approaching that of natural bone. Accordingly, when an osteoimplant exhibiting relatively high compression strength is desired, e.g., on the order of from about 10 to about 200 MPa, and preferably from about to about 100 MPa, it is necessary to employ bone-derived elements which retain a high proportion of their original mineral content or, stated another way, which have only been superficially demineralized.

Examples of fillers _g_ SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) include mineral material such as hydroxyapatite, tricaicium phosphate~and other calcium salts, bone powder, fully mineralized and partially or fully demineralized cortical and cancellous bone in any form, including particles such as demineralized bone powder (or "demineralized bone matrix" as it may also be called) sheets and shaped bone pieces, graphite or pyrolytic carbon, bioglass or other bioceramic or natural or synthetic polymers, e.g., bioabsorbable polymers such as polyglycolide, polylactide, glycolide-lactide copolymer, and the like, and nonbioabsorbable materials such as starches, polymethyl rnethacrylate, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyurethane, polyethylene and nylon. Suitable plasticizers, flexibilizing agents and hydration facilitating agents, include liquid polyhydroxy compounds such as glycerol, monacetin, diacetin, and mixtures thereof. Suitable biostatic/biocidal agents include antibiotics, povidone, sugars, and mixtures thereof; suitable surface agents include the biocompatible nonionic, cationic, anionic and amphoteric surfactants, and mixtures thereof. The osteoimplant can also possess bone-growth inducing substances which include any of a variety of. medically and/or surgically useful substances which are described below.
The osteoimplant can~possess one or more cavities which, if desired, can communicate with the surface of SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) the implant through pores, apertures, perforations or - channels provided for this purpose and ranging in average diameter from a few microns to several millimeters. Such cavities and their associated pores, apertures, perforations, and channels can be partially or completely filled with one or more medically/surgically useful substances which promote or accelerate new bone growth or bone healing due, e.g., to some osteogenic, osteoconductive and/or osteoconductive effect. Useful substances of this kind which can be incorporated into the osteoimplant of this invention include, e.g., collagen, insoluble collagen derivatives, etc., and soluble solids and/or liquids dissolved therein, e.g., antiviral agents, particularly those effective against HIV and hepatitis; antimicrobials and/or antibiotics such as erythromycin, bacitracin, neomycin, penicillin, polymyxin B, tetracyclines, viomycin, chloromycetin and streptomycins, cefazolin, ampicillin, azactam, tobramycin, clindamycin and gentamicin, ete.;

These and similar medically/surgically useful substances can be incorporated into the osteoimplant of this invention or any of its constituent bone-derived elements or other components during any stage of the assembly of the implant. Suitable methods of incorporation include coating, immersion saturation, packing, etc. The amounts of medically/surgically useful substances utilized can vary widely with optimum levels being readily determined in a specific case by routine experimentation.
Osteoimplants of any desirable size and/or configuration can be provided, e.g., by machining or SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) other mechanical shaping operations such as press-molding. Computerized modeling of a specific implant followed by computerized control of the shaping of the implant can be used to provide an intricately shaped osteoimplant which is custom-fitted to the intended site of application with great. precision.
Where the invention comprises aggregates of elongate bone-derived elements which, in appearance can be described as filaments, fibers, threads, slender or narrow strips, etc., an osteoimplant can be formed from these elements by a variety of methods. For example, forming a solution or slurry in a suitable medium which can comprise the crosslinking agent, and any proportion of the elongate bone-derived elements being partially or fully demineralized, and fully mineralized. This solution can be formed into an osteoimplant of any shape according to the configuration of a mold into which it is poured. The mold is preferably shaped as a bone or section thereof, or as an implant for grafting. Once contained in a mold, the solution of bone-derived elements can be solidified into a solid osteoimplant by known techniques.
It is within the scope of the invention to supplement or increase the shape-retaining and/or mechanical-strength characteristics of the osteoimplant, e.g., by the addition of mechanical fasteners such as SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) pins, screws, dowels, etc., which can be fabricated from natural or synthetic. materials and bioabsorbable as well as nonbioabsorbale materials, by the use of laser tissue welding or ultrasonic bonding, and so forth. In those embodiments of the osteoimplant which are assembled from relatively large bone-derived elements such as sheets, such elements can be provided with mechanically interengaging features, e.g~., tongue-and-groove or mortise-and-tenon features, which facilitate their assembly into the final product and/or to fix the elements to each other in a more secured fashion.
The osteoimplant herein is intended to be applied at a bone defect site, e.g., one resulting from injury, defect brought about during the course of surgery, infection, malignancy or developmental malformation. The osteoimplant, suitably sized and shaped as required, can be utilized as a graft or. replacement in a wide variety of orthopaedic, neurosurgical and oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures such as the repair of simple and compound fractures and non-unions, external and internal fixations, joint reconstructions such as arthrodesis, general arthroplasty, cup arthroplasty of the hip, femoral and humeral head replacement, femoral head .
surface replacement and total joint replacement, repairs of the vertebral column including spinal fusion and internal fixation, tumor surgery, e.g., deficit filling, SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) discectomy, laminectomy, excision of spinal cord tumors, anterior cervical and thoracic operations, repair of spinal injuries, scoliosis, lordosis and kyphosis treatments, intermaxillary fixation of fractures, mentoplasty, temporomandibular joint replacement, alveolar ridge augmentation and reconstruction, onlay bone grafts, implant placement and revision, sinus lifts, etc. Specific bones which can be repaired or replaced with the osbeoimplant herein include the ethmoid, frontal, nasal, occipital, parietal, temporal, mandible, maxilla, zygomatic, cervical vertebra, thoracic vertebra, lumbar vertebra, sacrum, rib, sternum, clavicle, scapula, humerus, radius, ulna, carpal bones, metacarpal bones, phalanges, ilium, ischium, pubis, femur, tibia, fibula, patella, calcaneus, tarsal,, and metatarsal bones.
The method of manufacturing the osteoimplant of the present invention comprises providing a quantity of bone-derived elements initially presenting surface-exposed collagen and subsequently forming chemical linkages between the surface-exposed collagen of adjacent bone-derived elements to bond the elements into a solid aggregate. These chemical linkages can be formed employing a variety of known methods including chemical reaction, the application of energy such as radiant energy, which includes irradiation by W light or microwave energy, drying and/or heating and dye-mediated SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) photo-oxidation; dehydrothermal treatment in which water is slowly removed while the bone tissue is subjected to a vacuum; and, enzymatic treatment to form chemical linkages at any collagen-collagen interface. The preferred method oL Lorming chemical linkages is by chemical reaction.
Chemical crosslinking agents include those that contain bifunctional or multifunctional reactive groups, and which react with functional groups on amino acids such as epsilon-amine functional group of lysine or hydroxy-lysine, or the carboxyl functional groups of aspartic and glutamic acids. By reacting with multiple functional groups on the same or different collagen molecules, the reacting chemical crosslinking agent forms a reinforcing cross-bridge.
Suitable chemical crosslinking agents include: mono-and dialdehydes, including glutaraldehyde and formaldehyde; polyepoxy compounds such as glycerol polyglycidal ethers, polyethylene glycol diglycidal ethers and other polyepoxy and diepoxy glycidal ethers;
tanning agents including polyvalent metallic oxides such as titanium dioxide, chromium dioxide, aluminum dioxide, zirconium salt, as well as organic tannins and other phenolic oxides derived from plants; chemicals for esterification of carboxyl groups followed by reaction with hydrazide to form activated acyl azide SU9STiTUTE SHEET (RULE 26) functionalities in the collagen; dicyclohexyl carbodiimide and its derivatives as well as other heterobifunctional crosslinking agents; hexamethylene diisocyanate; sugars, including glucose, will also crosslink collagen.
Glutaraldehyde crosslinked biomaterials have a tendency to over-calcify in the body. In this situation, should it be deemed necessary, calcification-controlling agents can be used with aldehyde crosslinking agents.
These calcification-controlling agents include: dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), surfactants, diphosphonates, aminooleic acid, and metallic ions, for example ions of iron and aluminum. The concentrations of these calcification-controlling agents can be determined by routine experimentation by those skilled in the art.
Chemical crosslinking involves exposing the bone-derived elements presenting surface-exposed collagen to the chemical crosslinking agent, either by placing the elements in a solution of the chemical crosslinking agent, or by exposing them to the vapors of the chemical crosslinking agent under conditions appropriate for the particular type of crosslinking reaction. Such conditions include: an appropriate pH and temperature, and for times ranging from minutes to days, depending upon the level of crosslinking desired, and the activity of the chemical crosslinking agent. The osteoimplant is SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) then washed to remove all leachable traces of the chemical.
When enzymatic treatment is employed, useful enzymes include those known in the art which are capable of catalyzing crosslinking reactions on proteins or peptides, preferably collagen molecules, e.g., transglutaminase as described in Jurgensen et al., The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, 79-A (2), 185-193 (1997), herein incorporated by reference.
l0 Formation of chemical linkages can also be accomplished by the application of energy. One way to form chemical linkages by application of energy is to use methods known to form highly reactive oxygen ions generated from atmospheric gas, which in turn, promote oxygen crossli.nks between surface-exposed collagen: Such methods include using energy in the form of ultraviolet light, microwave energy and the like. Another method utilizing the application of energy is a process known as dye-mediated photo-oxidation in which a chemical dye under the action of visible light is used to crosslink surface-exposed collagen.
Another method for the formation of chemical linkages is by dehydrothermal treatment which uses combined heat and the slow removal of water, preferably under vacuum, to achieve crosslinking of the bone-derived elements. The process involves chemically combining a SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) hydroxy group from a functional group of one collagen molecule and a hydrogen ion from a functional group of another collagen molecule reacting to form water which is then removed resulting in the formation of a bond between the collagen molecules.
Referring to the drawings, as shown in FIG. 1, the cortical portion of bone 10 taken from the diaphyseal region is cut into cortical bone sheets 11 of varying width by slicing the bone longitudinally. If desired, cortical bone sheets 11 can be further cut to uniform size and shape, as in bone-derived sheets 21 of the osteoimplant 20 shown in FIG. 2.
FIG. 2 illustrates an osteoimplant 20 comprising cortical bone-derived sheets 21 having a fully or partially demineralized outer surface with surface-exposed collagen, and a nondemineralized or partially demineralized core 22. Alternatively, one or more bone-derived sheets can be made from substantially completely demineralized bone. Also, another component such as demineralized bone powder can be coated on the bone-derived sheets. The entire structure has crosslinked collagen on adjacent bone-derived sheets to provide increased adhesion between them. The total thickness of the osteoimplant will ordinarily be at least about 2 to about 20 mm. Osteoimplant 20 can be cut, machined, and/or otherwise formed into any other desired shape or ;19-SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) dimension fox implantation into a body. Thus, as shown in FIG. 3A, a substantially cylindrically shaped osteoimplant 30 can be made fox use as a long bone segment replacement 31 for a femur 32 of FIG. 3. To form a cylinder, a substantially square or rectangular osteoimplant can be shaped on a lathe to the required diameter. A cavity can be formed by removing bone material with, for example, a drill, or, alternatively, a cavity can be formed by assembling appropriately configured layers of bone-derived elements.
As shown in FIG. 4, the disc-shaped osteoimplant 40 is shown inserted at the intervertebral fibrocartilage site 41 on the anterior side of vertebral column 42.
In FIG. 5, parietal osteoimplant 50 is sized and shaped to form part of the parietal bone for skull 51 in FIG. SA.
In FIG. 6, osteoimplant 60 is built up from bone-derived sheet sections 61 of surface demineralized cortical bone, and from bone-derived cube sections 62 of surface demineralized cancellous bone of uniform, square cross section. These sheet and cube constituents are arranged in alternating layers as shown. After assembly, the structure is subjected to treatment for cross-linking. Because of the open structure of osteoimplant 60 resulting from the pattern of channels 63, the osteoimplant permits vascular penetration or host bone SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 99!39757 PCTNS99102560 ingrowth therein and/or diffusion of one or more medically/surgical useful substances therefrom.
Osteoimplant 60 is shown installed as a spinal onlay graft attached via insertion of the transverse processes 71 into channels 63, for posterolateral intertransverse process fusion on vertebral column 70 of FIG. 7.
In FIG. 8A, osteoimplant 80 comprises bone-derived sheets 81 having a fully or partially demineralized outer surface. As shown in FIG..8, a bone-derived sheet has one side coated with tissue transglutaminase 83 and, the mating surface of the adjacent sheet is coated with CaCl2 82 solution. As osteoimplant 80 is assembled, contact between the two complimentary sides of bone-derived sheets results in tissue transglutaminase 83 catalyzing collagen crosslinking at the interface of adjacent bone-derived sheets 81.
The following examples are further illustrations of the osteoimplant of this invention.
Example 1 A cortical section of. bone from the diaphyseal region was cut in the longitudinal direction while continuously wetted with water into approximately 1.5 mm thick sheets using a diamond-bladed saw. The cortical bone-derived sheets were then frozen to -70C and freeze-dried for 48 hours, and subsequently, were placed into SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) excess 0.6N HCl solution for 1.5 hours with constant stirring, washed in water for 5 minutes, and soaked for 1.5 hours in BupH phosphate buffered saline. The bone-derived sheets were assembled into a layered structure and held with a clamp. The clamped structure was then placed into a solution of 10% neutral, buffered formalin for 48 hours to crosslink the exposed collagen surfaces.
After crosslinking, the clamp was removed, and the structure was placed in a container and allowed to rinse under running water for several hours. The osteoimplant was cut to shape on a band saw, and then placed in an excess aqueous solution of glycerol. After seven hours, the excess solution was removed, and the osteoimplant was freeze-dried.
Examble 2 Elongate bone-derived fibers were milled from cortical bone, and were fully demineralized in excess 0.6N HC1 solution. These fibers were washed with water, and soaked in an aqueous solution of glycerol.
Additionally, fully mineralized bone-derived fibers were added to the solution which was stirred and left for 12 hours at room temperature. The solution containing the soaked mineralized and demineralized bone-derived fibers were poured through a 106~micron sieve to recover the fibers. The mixture of mineralized and demineralized fibers was placed in a cylindrical die, and pressure-SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) treated to 10,000-50,000 psi in a press for 15 minutes, and were then heated for 2 to 12 hours at 37-55 degrees C. The resulting osteoimplant pellet was freeze-dried, and placed in polyethylene.glycol diglycidal ether for 12 hours at room temperature.
Example 3 Bone-derived sheets derived from human cortical bone, approximately 1 mm thick by 7 mm wide by 50 mm long, were treated for 10 minutes in 0.6N HC1 to expose surface collagen. Hone-derived cubes derived from human cancellous bone, 10 mm x 10 mm, were treated to expose surface collagen at the outer borders of the cubes. All bone-derived sheets and cubes were washed in water. The pieces were assembled together with bone-derived sheets bordering the cubes, and clamped into place. The construct was then placed into a solution of 10% neutral buffered formalin for 3 hours to crosslink the surface-exposed collagen. The resulting osteoimplant was then washed in water, and cut to size on a band saw. See Fig.
6.
Example 4 Human cortical bone-derived sheets approximately 1 mm thick were surface demineralized for 15 minutes in 0.6N HC1, then washed in running water. Tissue transglu-SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) taminase was reconstituted. to give a 1 mg/ml solution.
For each demineralized bone-derived sheet in the construct, the surface was blotted dry, then 40 ul/cm2 area of the tissue transglutaminase was applied to one side and an equivalent volume of O.1M CaCl2 solution was applied to the mating surface of the next demineralized bone-derived sheet. This was repeated sequentially. The resulting osteoimplant was clamped and placed into a humidity chamber to promote.crosslinking for approximately 30 minutes, then washed in water.
Example 5 Cortical bane-derived sheets, approximately 2 mm thick, were surface demineralized in 0.6N HC1 solution for 1 hour with constant stirring. The bone-derived sheets were then coated with dry, demineralized bone powder having a particle size of 300 microns or Less, and assembled into layers. The construct was clamped into place, and placed into a solution of 10% neutral buffered formalin for 12 hours to permit collagen crosslinking.
The resulting osteoimplant was washed in water to remove excess chemicals.

tanning agents including polyvalent metallic oxides such as titanium dioxide, chromium dioxide, aluminum dioxide, zirconium salt, as well as organic tannins and other phenolic oxides derived from plants; chemicals for esterification of carboxyl groups followed by reaction with hydrazide to form activated acyl azide SU9STiTUTE SHEET (RULE 26) functionalities in the collagen; dicyclohexyl carbodiimide and its derivatives as well as other heterobifunctional crosslinking agents; hexamethylene diisocyanate; sugars, including glucose, will also crosslink collagen.
Glutaraldehyde crosslinked biomaterials have a tendency to over-calcify in the body. In this situation, should it be deemed necessary, calcification-controlling agents can be used with aldehyde crosslinking agents.
These calcification-controlling agents include: dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), surfactants, diphosphonates, aminooleic acid, and metallic ions, for example ions of iron and aluminum. The concentrations of these calcification-controlling agents can be determined by routine experimentation by those skilled in the art.
Chemical crosslinking involves exposing the bone-derived elements presenting surface-exposed collagen to the chemical crosslinking agent, either by placing the elements in a solution of the chemical crosslinking agent, or by exposing them to the vapors of the chemical crosslinking agent under conditions appropriate for the particular type of crosslinking reaction. Such conditions include: an appropriate pH and temperature, and for times ranging from minutes to days, depending upon the level of crosslinking desired, and the activity of the chemical crosslinking agent. The osteoimplant is SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) then washed to remove all leachable traces of the chemical.
When enzymatic treatment is employed, useful enzymes include those known in the art which are capable of catalyzing crosslinking reactions on proteins or peptides, preferably collagen molecules, e.g., transglutaminase as described in Jurgensen et al., The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, 79-A (2), 185-193 (1997), herein incorporated by reference.
l0 Formation of chemical linkages can also be accomplished by the application of energy. One way to form chemical linkages by application of energy is to use methods known to form highly reactive oxygen ions generated from atmospheric gas, which in turn, promote oxygen crossli.nks between surface-exposed collagen: Such methods include using energy in the form of ultraviolet light, microwave energy and the like. Another method utilizing the application of energy is a process known as dye-mediated photo-oxidation in which a chemical dye under the action of visible light is used to crosslink surface-exposed collagen.
Another method for the formation of chemical linkages is by dehydrothermal treatment which uses combined heat and the slow removal of water, preferably under vacuum, to achieve crosslinking of the bone-derived elements. The process involves chemically combining a SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) hydroxy group from a functional group of one collagen molecule and a hydrogen ion from a functional group of another collagen molecule reacting to form water which is then removed resulting in the formation of a bond between the collagen molecules.
Referring to the drawings, as shown in FIG. 1, the cortical portion of bone 10 taken from the diaphyseal region is cut into cortical bone sheets 11 of varying width by slicing the bone longitudinally. If desired, cortical bone sheets 11 can be further cut to uniform size and shape, as in bone-derived sheets 21 of the osteoimplant 20 shown in FIG. 2.
FIG. 2 illustrates an osteoimplant 20 comprising cortical bone-derived sheets 21 having a fully or partially demineralized outer surface with surface-exposed collagen, and a nondemineralized or partially demineralized core 22. Alternatively, one or more bone-derived sheets can be made from substantially completely demineralized bone. Also, another component such as demineralized bone powder can be coated on the bone-derived sheets. The entire structure has crosslinked collagen on adjacent bone-derived sheets to provide increased adhesion between them. The total thickness of the osteoimplant will ordinarily be at least about 2 to about 20 mm. Osteoimplant 20 can be cut, machined, and/or otherwise formed into any other desired shape or ;19-SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) dimension fox implantation into a body. Thus, as shown in FIG. 3A, a substantially cylindrically shaped osteoimplant 30 can be made fox use as a long bone segment replacement 31 for a femur 32 of FIG. 3. To form a cylinder, a substantially square or rectangular osteoimplant can be shaped on a lathe to the required diameter. A cavity can be formed by removing bone material with, for example, a drill, or, alternatively, a cavity can be formed by assembling appropriately configured layers of bone-derived elements.
As shown in FIG. 4, the disc-shaped osteoimplant 40 is shown inserted at the intervertebral fibrocartilage site 41 on the anterior side of vertebral column 42.
In FIG. 5, parietal osteoimplant 50 is sized and shaped to form part of the parietal bone for skull 51 in FIG. SA.
In FIG. 6, osteoimplant 60 is built up from bone-derived sheet sections 61 of surface demineralized cortical bone, and from bone-derived cube sections 62 of surface demineralized cancellous bone of uniform, square cross section. These sheet and cube constituents are arranged in alternating layers as shown. After assembly, the structure is subjected to treatment for cross-linking. Because of the open structure of osteoimplant 60 resulting from the pattern of channels 63, the osteoimplant permits vascular penetration or host bone SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 99!39757 PCTNS99102560 ingrowth therein and/or diffusion of one or more medically/surgical useful substances therefrom.
Osteoimplant 60 is shown installed as a spinal onlay graft attached via insertion of the transverse processes 71 into channels 63, for posterolateral intertransverse process fusion on vertebral column 70 of FIG. 7.
In FIG. 8A, osteoimplant 80 comprises bone-derived sheets 81 having a fully or partially demineralized outer surface. As shown in FIG..8, a bone-derived sheet has one side coated with tissue transglutaminase 83 and, the mating surface of the adjacent sheet is coated with CaCl2 82 solution. As osteoimplant 80 is assembled, contact between the two complimentary sides of bone-derived sheets results in tissue transglutaminase 83 catalyzing collagen crosslinking at the interface of adjacent bone-derived sheets 81.
The following examples are further illustrations of the osteoimplant of this invention.
Example 1 A cortical section of. bone from the diaphyseal region was cut in the longitudinal direction while continuously wetted with water into approximately 1.5 mm thick sheets using a diamond-bladed saw. The cortical bone-derived sheets were then frozen to -70C and freeze-dried for 48 hours, and subsequently, were placed into SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) excess 0.6N HCl solution for 1.5 hours with constant stirring, washed in water for 5 minutes, and soaked for 1.5 hours in BupH phosphate buffered saline. The bone-derived sheets were assembled into a layered structure and held with a clamp. The clamped structure was then placed into a solution of 10% neutral, buffered formalin for 48 hours to crosslink the exposed collagen surfaces.
After crosslinking, the clamp was removed, and the structure was placed in a container and allowed to rinse under running water for several hours. The osteoimplant was cut to shape on a band saw, and then placed in an excess aqueous solution of glycerol. After seven hours, the excess solution was removed, and the osteoimplant was freeze-dried.
Examble 2 Elongate bone-derived fibers were milled from cortical bone, and were fully demineralized in excess 0.6N HC1 solution. These fibers were washed with water, and soaked in an aqueous solution of glycerol.
Additionally, fully mineralized bone-derived fibers were added to the solution which was stirred and left for 12 hours at room temperature. The solution containing the soaked mineralized and demineralized bone-derived fibers were poured through a 106~micron sieve to recover the fibers. The mixture of mineralized and demineralized fibers was placed in a cylindrical die, and pressure-SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) treated to 10,000-50,000 psi in a press for 15 minutes, and were then heated for 2 to 12 hours at 37-55 degrees C. The resulting osteoimplant pellet was freeze-dried, and placed in polyethylene.glycol diglycidal ether for 12 hours at room temperature.
Example 3 Bone-derived sheets derived from human cortical bone, approximately 1 mm thick by 7 mm wide by 50 mm long, were treated for 10 minutes in 0.6N HC1 to expose surface collagen. Hone-derived cubes derived from human cancellous bone, 10 mm x 10 mm, were treated to expose surface collagen at the outer borders of the cubes. All bone-derived sheets and cubes were washed in water. The pieces were assembled together with bone-derived sheets bordering the cubes, and clamped into place. The construct was then placed into a solution of 10% neutral buffered formalin for 3 hours to crosslink the surface-exposed collagen. The resulting osteoimplant was then washed in water, and cut to size on a band saw. See Fig.
6.
Example 4 Human cortical bone-derived sheets approximately 1 mm thick were surface demineralized for 15 minutes in 0.6N HC1, then washed in running water. Tissue transglu-SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) taminase was reconstituted. to give a 1 mg/ml solution.
For each demineralized bone-derived sheet in the construct, the surface was blotted dry, then 40 ul/cm2 area of the tissue transglutaminase was applied to one side and an equivalent volume of O.1M CaCl2 solution was applied to the mating surface of the next demineralized bone-derived sheet. This was repeated sequentially. The resulting osteoimplant was clamped and placed into a humidity chamber to promote.crosslinking for approximately 30 minutes, then washed in water.
Example 5 Cortical bane-derived sheets, approximately 2 mm thick, were surface demineralized in 0.6N HC1 solution for 1 hour with constant stirring. The bone-derived sheets were then coated with dry, demineralized bone powder having a particle size of 300 microns or Less, and assembled into layers. The construct was clamped into place, and placed into a solution of 10% neutral buffered formalin for 12 hours to permit collagen crosslinking.
The resulting osteoimplant was washed in water to remove excess chemicals.
