Method for restoring bone using shapeable bone graft substitute and instruments for delivery thereof

1. A method for restoring bone in an animal comprising:

accessing a site to be restored;

loading a syringe body with a flowable bone graft material;

imbibing the flowable bone graft material with bone marrow aspirate, blood or saline with application of positive pressure for a sufficient period of time to form a homogeneous injectable mass;

mating the syringe body with a delivery tube;

positioning the delivery tube at the site to be restored;

using a syringe piston to advance the said material into the delivery tube;

using the syringe piston or a plunger that mates with the delivery tube after removal of the syringe body to deliver the homogeneous injectable mass to the site at a force of less than 50 lbs. extrusion force;

wherein the flowable bone graft material is at least 75% porous,

wherein the flowable bone graft material comprises a dry bone graft material having a homogeneous mixture comprising collagen in the amount of about 15% to about 30% by weight and a calcium phosphate,

wherein a ratio of the collagen and the calcium phosphate is same throughout the homogeneous mixture, and

wherein the dry bone graft material has macro-porosity, meso-porosity, and microporosity.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the extrusion force is between about 20 lbs to about 25 lbs.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the syringe body and delivery tube are threadingly engaged.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said flowable bone graft material is 80% porous.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said flowable bone graft material is 90% porous.
