Abstract

Abstract A biocompatible collagen/demineralized human bone composite material, method for making the same, and prostheses employing the same are disclosed, wherein the composite material may be formulated into a fluid injectable, gel or rehydratable freeze dried paste. The resultant products can be used either alone or combined with a prosthetic device as an osteoinductive/osteoconductive material.
