ABSTRACT:
A bone induction tray which acts as a structural support intimate contact with a bone to be repaired and participates directly in the reconstruction of a bone defect by providing direct chemical bonding with the bone and in the repair thereof. A suitable dimensionally formable fabric is selected which comprises a woven or non-woven mesh of fibers having pores between the fibers primarily for carrying an appropriate ceramic material therein. The fabric acts as a substrate support for a calcium phosphate biomaterial which is coated onto the fabric mesh such that the individual fibers of the mesh are completely coated and the pores in the mesh are completely impregnated therewith. Preferred bioresorbable fiber materials are the alpha-hydroxyacids such as lactic acid or glutaric acid. Preferred non-bioresorbable fabrics are typically polyamides, polyesters, or polyacrylics.
