MALLEABLE DEMINERALIZED BONE COMPOSITION AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE
First Claim
1. A method of making a malleable demineralized bone composition consisting of cortical bone comprises the steps of:
- preparing a first portion of cortical bone by cutting the cortical bone into pieces, freeze-drying the pieces and then grinding into particles and demineralizing the ground particles and the freeze-drying the demineralized ground particles to form a first portion of DBM particles;
preparing a second portion of cortical bone by shaving wherein cortical bone plates are cut into long pieces, cleaned and then shaved to form shavings of cortical bone tissue then freeze-drying the shavings, grinding the freeze-dried shavings to obtain a particle size less than 150 μ
m and demineralizing the particles thereafter freeze-drying to form a second portion of DBM particles;
autoclaving a volume of the second portion of DBM particles mixed with sterile water in a 2;
1 ratio by volume for a predetermined time at a pre-set temperature and pressure to form a gelatin;
cooling the gelatin made from the second portion; and
mixing the freeze-dried ground particles of the first portion with the gelatin from the second portion at a ratio of 80;
20 or less gelatin to DBM to create a malleable putty or paste.

Abstract
A malleable demineralized bone composition consists of cortical bone made from a first portion and a second portion. The first portion of cortical bone is made from cut pieces freeze dried then ground into particles and demineralized then freeze-dried. The second portion of cortical bone is shaved into shavings. The shavings are long thin strips subjected to freeze-drying. The freeze-dried shavings are ground and demineralized and then freeze-dried. A volume of the second portion is placed in a solution of sterile water to create a mixture, the water volume being twice the second portion, the mixture is autoclaved under heat and pressure to form a gelatin, and the first portion is mixed with the gelatin to form a malleable putty or paste.
