Method for producing ceramic implant materials, preferably ceramic implant materials including hydroxyl apatite
First Claim
1. Method for production of ceramic implant material, preferably ceramic implant material including hydroxyl apatite, characterized by using for the production the spongy parts of joints from animals, preferably grown-up cattle, removing the organic constituents of the spongy parts of the joints by a quick burning, effecting one or more flushings of the remaining inorganic parts of the joints without chemical additives and sintering of said inorganic parts of the joints.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for production of ceramic implant material, preferably ceramic implant material including hydroxyl apatite. According to the invention, for the production, the spongy parts of joints from animals, preferably grown-up cattle, are used, whereby the organic constituents of the spongy parts of the joints are removed by a quick burning, whereby one or more flushings of the remaining inorganic parts of the joints are effected without chemical additives and whereby said inorganic parts of the joints are sintered. The implant material can be used in connection with a mark inoculation method and in cell cultures.

2. A method for producing ceramic implant material comprising hydroxyapatite, the method consisting essentially of the steps of:
-
(a) obtaining a bone part from a joint of an animal; (b) Cooling the bone part to a temperature of about 0°
C.;(c) heating the cooled bone part in a furnace to remove a substantial amount of organic constituents from the bone part; (d) washing the bone part with a non-acid bath after the heating of the bone part; and (e) sintering the bone part after said washing step;
said heating in step (c) being performed with the infusion of excess oxygen into the furnace and without the maximum temperature exceeding the phase transformation temperature of the bone part. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
