Abstract
An osteoinductive implantable composition comprising a mixture of demineralized bone fibers and mineralized bone fibers is provided. The mixture is visible under X ray and remodels more easily than comparable mixtures of demineralized bone matrix and surface demineralized cortical bone chips. The osteoinductive implantable compositions comprises demineralized bone fibers in an amount from about 30 vol % to about 45 vol % and mineralized bone fibers in an amount from about 55 vol % to about 70 vol %. The osteoinductive implantable compositions can be delivered in delivery systems including mesh coverings for administration at surgical sites. A method of treating a bone defect caused by injury, disease, wounds, or surgery utilizing the osteoinductive implantable composition comprising a mixture of demineralized bone fibers and mineralized bone fibers is also provided.
