Cotton-Wool-Like Resorbable Bone Void Fillers Containing β-TCP and Calcium Carbonate Particles

Article Preview

Abstract:

Cotton-wool-like bioresorbable bone void fillers consisting of β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP), siloxane-containing vaterite (SiV) and poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) was prepared by an electrospinning method. The fibers, which were 50 ~ 150 μm-width with 10 ~ 30 μm-thickness, were entwined. The resulting cotton-wool-like material showed mechanical flexibility and excellent shapability; it showed easy, excellent mechanical-fixation in defects. The in vivo performance of this material was examined in the distal femur in New Zealand white rabbits. It was evaluated using micro CT and histologic analyses at time points of 6 and 12 weeks. These analyses of the defect sites verified normal healing response and new bone formation. The in vivo testing with rabbits showed good biocompatibility and excellent osteogenic ability.
