Bioactive Glass-Polymer Composite for Experimental Bone Reconstruction

摘要

Thermoplastic composite of bioactive glass (S53P4) and copolymer of lactones (Glepron) can be used as liquid, injectable or paste like form, as solid plugs or thin membranes for filling bone defects. This bone substitute is bioactive, osteoconductive and biocompatible resulting in bone bonding contacts between glass granules and bone in defects of the distal femur and ulna of experimental animals. Properties of the material can be adjusted by polymer chemistry.
