Abstract
The present invention relates to a novel bone graft and methods for producing said graft. Said bone graft can be used for surgical, plastic and/or cosmetic bone replacement for a patient in need thereof. The bone graft is made of a scaffold or matrix of sheet material having a 3-dimensional pattern of a continuous network of voids and/or indentations for enhancing new bone growth.

8. A method for producing a bone matrix scaffold, comprising the steps of
providing at least one sheet material the sheet material having a surface pattern that enhances osteo-conductivity and potentially supports inductivity, wherein the surface pattern is a 3-dimensional substantially continuous network having voids; -
cross-linking said at least one sheet material using fibers; and whereby a macrostructure is formed having a substantially continuous network and voids. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
