Absorbable putty-like implants and methods for their use for mechanical hemostasis of bone and for the treatment of osseous defects

摘要

Two (or more), component, body-implantable, absorbable, biocompatible, putty-like surgical mechanical hemostatic tamponades for use in surgery. Component 1, a carboxylic acid salt bulking material preferably less than 50 micron, preferably the calcium, magnesium, zinc, aluminum, lithium or barium salts of saturated or unsaturated carboxylic acids containing about 6 to 22 carbon atoms. ;Component 2, a dispersing vehicle, may be esters of C₈-C₁₈ monohydric alcohols with C₂-C₆ aliphatic monocarboxylic acids; C₂-C₁₈ monohydric alcohols with polycarboxylic acids; C₈-C₃₀ monohydric alcohols; tocopherol and esters thereof with C₂-C₁₀ aliphatic monocarboxylic acids or polycarboxylic acids; absorbable 10-14C hydrocarbons; free carboxylic acids such as oleic, linoleic, caprylic, capric, and lauric; dialkyl ethers; alkyl aryl ethers; dialkyl ketones and alkyl aryl ketones; polyhydroxy compounds and esters and ethers thereof; oils such as olive oil and castor oil and triglycerides.
