SPRAYABLE BONE REPLACEMENT MATERIAL CONTAINING FIBRINE OR FIBRINOGEN AND HYDROXYLAPATITE CEMENT

摘要

A bone substitute material is prepared which comprises a soft matrix, living cells and a setting matrix comprising non-ceramic hydroxyapatite cement. The bone substitute material can be injected minimally invasively into a bone defect with a suitable injection apparatus. In an embodiment, living cells are mixed with a fibrinogen solution and then with a thrombin solution to form the soft matrix, and the soft matrix is mixed with an aqueous solution of non-ceramic hydroxyapatite cement to obtain the bone substitute material which remains unsolidified until after application to a body.
