Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
55 words
A flowable composition for application to a bone defect site to promote new bone growth at the site which comprises a new bone growth-inducing amount of pulverized demineralized osteogenic bone powder in a biocompatible carrier for the bone powder wherein said carrier is selected from the group consisting of glycerol, monoacetin, diacetin and mixtures thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
55 words
A flowable composition for application to a bone defect site to promote new bone growth at the site which comprises a new bone growth-inducing amount of pulverized demineralized osteogenic bone powder in a biocompatible carrier for the bone powder wherein said carrier is selected from the group consisting of glycerol, monoacetin, diacetin and mixtures thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the average particle size of the demineralized bone powder is from about 0.1 to about 1.2 cm.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
10 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the carrier is glycerol.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
72 words
The composition of claim 3 containing at least one additional ingredient selected from the group consisting of antiviral agent, antimicrobial agent, antibiotic agent, amino acid, peptide, vitamin, protein synthesis co-factor hormone, endocrine tissue, synthesizer, enzyme, polymer-cell scaffolding agent with parenchymal cells, angiogenic drug, polymeric drug carrier, collagen lattice, antigenic agent, cytoskeletal agent, mesenchymal agent, bone digester, antitumor agent, cellular attractant, cellular attachment agent, immunosuppressant, nucleic acid, surface active agent and penetration enhancer.
