Bone induction by equine COLLOSSreg; E-filled titanium scaffolding material

摘要

In conclusion, it was demonstrated that the novel equine COLLOSS® E material, loaded in a titanium fiber mesh tube, exhibits osteoinductive properties, similar to the earlier used bovine variety of COLLOSS®. It remains to be seen whether the effect on bone formation is depending on the amount of COLLOSS® E. The effect of COLLOSS® E has to be further investigated in large animal studies, in order to assess the possible clinical application of COLLOSS® E for bone reconstruction and bone tissue engineering procedures.
