Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
96 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 demineralized osteogenic bone powder in a biocompatible liquid polyhydroxy compound and/or ester thereof as a carrier for the bone powder. wherein the liquid polyhydroxy compound and/or ester thereof is selected from the group consisting of glycerol monoesters and diesters of glycerol derived from low molecular weight carboxylic acids, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, 1,2-propanediol. trimethylolethane, trimethyolpropane, pentaerythritol, sorbitol, esters of any of the foregoing polyhydroxy compounds and mixtures thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
96 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 demineralized osteogenic bone powder in a biocompatible liquid polyhydroxy compound and/or ester thereof as a carrier for the bone powder. wherein the liquid polyhydroxy compound and/or ester thereof is selected from the group consisting of glycerol monoesters and diesters of glycerol derived from low molecular weight carboxylic acids, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, 1,2-propanediol. trimethylolethane, trimethyolpropane, pentaerythritol, sorbitol, esters of any of the foregoing polyhydroxy compounds and mixtures thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
The composition of claim 1 containing at least one additional ingredient selected from bone morphogenetic proteins, transforming growth factor and insulin-like growth factor IGD-1.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
78 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, and wherein the composition contains at least one additional ingredient selected from bone morphogenetic proteins, transforming growth factor and insulin-like growth factor IGD-1.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
78 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, and wherein the composition contains at least one additional ingredient selected from bone morphogenetic proteins, transforming growth factor and insulin-like growth factor IGD-1.

Claim 12
Dependent Claim
28 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein said polyhydroxy compound comprises sorbitol dissolved in a solvent selected from the group consisting of glycerol, monacetin and diacetin and mixtures thereof.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
41 words
The composition of claim 1 additionally comprising a thickener selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, carboxy methylcellulose, pectin, food-grade texturizing agent, gelatin, dextran, collagen, starch, hydrolyzed polyacrylonitrile, hydrolyzed polyacrylamide and polyacrylic acid salt and mixtures thereof.
