Oxygenated three-dimensional matrix for bone growth
View Patent ↗An encapsulated three-dimensional (3-D) bone matrix composition for inducing bone growth includes a 3-D bone matrix, an oxygen carrier incorporated into the 3-D bone matrix, and an encapsulation material which encapsulates the 3-D bone matrix incorporated with the oxygen carrier. Methods are disclosed for preparing an encapsulated 3-D bone matrix that can be maintained in packaging.
1. An encapsulated 3-dimensional (3-D) bone matrix composition for inducing bone growth, comprising:
a 3-D bone matrix selected from a demineralized cancellous sponge or a non-demineralized cancellous bone strip;
an oxygen carrier incorporated into the 3-D bone matrix; and
an encapsulation material that encapsulates the 3-D bone matrix.
2. The encapsulated 3-D bone matrix composition of claim 1 , wherein the oxygen carrier is selected from the group consisting of perfluorodecalin, perfluorohexane, perfluoroperhydrophenanthrene, perfluorobutylamine (PFTBA or PFTBM), perfluorooctylbromide (PFOB), perfluoro-n-octane, octafluoropropane, perfluorodichlorooctane, perfluorodecane, perfluorotripropylamine, perfluorotrimethylcyclohexane, perfluoromethyladamantane, perfluorodimethyladamantane, perfluoromethyldecaline, perfluorofluorene, diphenyldimethylsiloxane, monohydroperfluorooctane, alumina-treated perfluorooctane, and mixtures thereof.
3. The encapsulated 3-D bone matrix composition of claim 1 , wherein the encapsulation material is a collagen-derived material.
4. The encapsulated 3-D bone matrix composition of claim 1 , further comprising a demineralized bone matrix powder mixed with the oxygen carrier.
5. The encapsulated 3-D bone matrix composition of claim 1 , further comprising a dispersing agent mixed with the oxygen carrier.
6. The encapsulated 3-D bone matrix composition of claim 5 , wherein the dispersing agent is selected from the group consisting of glycerols, lecithins, polyoxamers, surfactants, and phospholipids.
