ABSTRACT:
A bone-growth stimulating composition for forming a resorbable implant, methods for making such a composition and a corresponding putty/paste material. In some embodiments of the invention, such a material includes a plurality of particles having a predetermined size and comprising a first calcium sulfate compound and a resorbable polymer in a predetermined weight ratio. Methods for making such a material include rotating calcium sulfate powder in a drum at a first predetermined drum speed, spraying of a resorbable polymer solution at a predetermined rate on the calcium sulfate powder over a predetermined period of time and drying the resulting particles. Such compositions allow resorption rates of the implant composition in vivo to be controlled, and my vary between eight and twenty-four weeks (for example), which can be matched to substantially correspond to a rate of bone growth in a particular application. The implant composition of the present invention can be used for the repair, augmentation, and other treatment of bone.
