Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for the production of spongiosa bone ceramic low in calcium oxide.
- the production of bone ceramics from animal bones usually takes place in such a way that selected bones or pieces of bone are first mechanically freed of all adhering soft tissues, then roughly trimmed by sawing into pieces of suitable shape and size, and then removing all others mineralized organic components.
- the mineralization process begins with boiling several times in water.
- the further treatment can take place, for example, with solvents which dissolve fat or protein and / or with the aid of hydrogen peroxide, as described, for example, in EP 0 141 004.
- Pyrolytic mineralization processes have proven to be particularly simple and effective.
- the organic portion of the bone is decomposed by the action of heat and the resulting carbon is then burned out in an excess of oxygen. Temperatures between 500 and 1000 ° C are common for bone pyrolysis.
- cancellous bone material After mineralization The bone is sintered into ceramics, whereby temperatures between 800 and 1400 ° C are common. Sintering gives the material the desired final strength. In the processes mentioned, special care must be taken to ensure that the porous structure of the original bone is preserved as far as possible.
- the conversion of cancellous bone material to cancellous bone ceramic can preferably be carried out by a method according to DE 3727606, in which special control of the temperature and the reductive or oxidative character of the atmosphere enables particularly gentle pyrolysis.
- Ceramics come.
- the proportion of calcium oxide in the bone ceramic is natural and can vary depending on the animal breed and individual husbandry.
- the calcium oxide arises from the fact that during pyrolysis and sintering the calcium carbonate naturally present in the bone is converted into calcium oxide.
- the mineralized bone material be subjected to treatment with an aqueous solution of an organic acid, in particular citric acid, before sintering.
- This step enables calcium oxide to be extracted from the material, so that after sintering, a bone ceramic is obtained which consists of more than 99% X-ray hydroxyapatite by X-ray analysis.
- this procedure is very effective and leads to a usable stable bone ceramic, there are disadvantages associated with it.
- the material must first be cooled back to room temperature in order to achieve the
- the process point has not yet sufficiently solidified and is therefore very sensitive.
- the present invention was therefore based on the object of alleviating the disadvantages of the previous procedure.
- the invention thus relates to a process for the production of spongiosa bone ceramics low in calcium oxide, in which cancellous bones prepared in pieces are removed by removing all organic
- Demineralized water is known as such and is readily available. It can be produced in any amount from natural water by generally known methods, for example by single or multiple distillation and / or removal of the dissolved mineral salts by means of ion exchangers. Demineralized water usually shows a slightly acidic pH, which is around 6.0. It is believed that this slightly acidic nature of the demineralized water favors the leaching of calcium oxide from the mineralized bone matrix.
- the natural proportion of calcium oxide in the bone is between 5 and 10%.
- X-ray examination of the ceramic obtained at the end shows that the material consists of more than 95% and generally 97-99% of hydroxyapatite. Calcium oxide can only be detected in traces, if at all.
- the method according to the invention makes it possible to save not inconsiderable amounts of the acid previously required for a comparable result.
- rinsing operations to wash the material neutrally are eliminated, so that this can also save costs and time.
- the method according to the invention is considerably gentler since the hydroxylapatite matrix is not attacked by the treatment with demineralized water.
- the pieces are dried and then sintered to form the ceramic in the usual way.
- Raw rod ends of freshly slaughtered cattle, which have been freed from soft tissue, are cut into rectangular pieces measuring roughly 30 x 30 x 100 mm using a saw and boiled with water three times for about 1 hour.
- the bone pieces are then dried at 110 ° C for 6 hours. Then they are opened under a nitrogen atmosphere within 9 hours
- the atmosphere is switched linearly to atmospheric oxygen and then heated to 900 ° C within 5 hours.
- the pieces are placed in a bath of demineralized water (10 1 per 1 kg of bone material) and treated in the moving bath at a temperature of 20 ° C for a period of 48 hours. After this treatment, the pieces are washed 3 times with demineralized water.
- the pieces are heated to 1250 ° C. within 21 hours, kept at this temperature for 3 hours and then cooled freely.
- the bone ceramic pieces obtained show the unchanged porous structure of the original cancellous bone.
- the ceramic consists of about 99% of hydroxyapatite by X-ray.
