Abstract
Abstract Osteoplasty material substantially devoid of antigenic proteins, wherein the material contains a natural bone structure in which non-denatured type I collagen is integrated, is prepared by selective extraction of bone tissue of human or animal origin. The selective extractant is an aqueous solution of 2-10 molar urea, and the extraction step is conducted at preferably 10°-30° C.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 26
Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
A method for producing an osteoplasty material, comprising (a) providing a starting non-demineralized bone tissue of human or animal origin, containing antigenic, non-collagenous structural proteins and structural collagen, (b) subjecting said bone tissue to at least one selective extraction of the antigenic proteins with an aqueous selective extraction agent containing urea at a sufficient concentration and a sufficient temperature so as to selectively decompose the antigenic non-collagenous protein structure without attacking type I collagen, and (c) recovering an osteoplasty material for bone implants having the natural bone structure of the starting bone tissue and type I collagen integrated therein in non-denatured form.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
102 words
A method for producing an osteoplasty material, comprising (a) providing a starting non-demineralized bone tissue of human or animal origin, containing antigenic, non-collagenous structural proteins and structural collagen, (b) subjecting said bone tissue to at least one selective extraction of the antigenic proteins with an aqueous selective extraction agent containing urea at a sufficient concentration and a sufficient temperature so as to selectively decompose the antigenic non-collagenous protein structure without attacking type I collagen, and (c) recovering an osteoplasty material for bone implants having the natural bone structure of the starting bone tissue and type I collagen integrated therein in non-denatured form.
