Benefits of technology

This patent describes a bone filling material that includes microparticles of an elastomeric material and a filler dopant in the elastomeric material. The elastomeric material is a poly(glycerol sebacate)-based thermoset. The bone filling material can be mixed with a carrier material to form a composite, which can be used to treat bony defects. The technical effect of this invention is a more effective and improved bone filling material that can be easily molded and placed in bone defects.

Problems solved by technology

These plastic materials, however, do not transmit stress but instead shield adjacent materials from stress.
It does not provide any therapeutic effect.
The problems associated with conventional putty formulations include, but are not limited to, their inclusion of animal-based carrier materials, their inability to be molded to fit the defect geometry, their inability to remain in the defect site, their resistance to irrigation, their lack of antimicrobial properties, and the need for a two-step process of mixing salt with blood to achieve an appropriate consistency.

example 1

[0060]A porous thermoset PGS flour was produced by first adding about 15 grams (g) of hot (≥90° C.) PGS resin to about 30 g of sieved, crystalline NaCl salt having an average particle size about 106 μm or less. The materials were mixed by a mixer (FlackTek, Inc., Landrum, S.C.) at 2000 revolutions per minute (rpm) for about 2 minutes. The resultant paste was placed into a round aluminum dish and smoothed to a film about 2 millimeters (mm) thick. The film was thermoset at a temperature of about 120° C. and a pressure of about 10 Torr for about 24 hours. The resultant solid film was removed from the aluminum dish in crumbled pieces and placed into a jar and then mixed by the FlackTek mixer at 2000 rpm for about 1 minute to break / grind the flour to smaller particle sizes.

[0061]About 50 mL of deionized water (diH2O) was added to the jar and the jar was sonicated for about 5 minutes to dissolve away the NaCl salt. The solvent was decanted, and the dissolve step was repeated three times. ...

example 2

[0062]A PGS bone filling composite was produced by adding about 2.5 g of the porous thermoset PGS flour from Example 1 to about 4.4 g of TCP particles having a particle size in the range of about 50-150 μm and about 0.6 g of glycerol. The materials were mixed by a FlackTek mixer at about 2000 rpm for about 30 seconds, followed by a dwell time of about 20 minutes. To this mixture, about 2.5 g of hot (≥90° C.) PGS resin was added as a carrier and mixed at about 2000 rpm for about 1 minute. The resultant bone filling composite was soft and moldable. The bone filling composite was characterized by manual manipulation and by SEM / energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) for organic / mineral homogeneity.

example 3

[0063]An MgO-doped PGS resin was formed in a water-mediated reaction based on a method described in U.S. Pat. No. 9,359,472, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety, where the MgO particles were introduced before the 24-hour distillation step. The MgO was provided in an amount of about a 1:200 weight ratio with respect to the PGS resin. Glycerol was added to a reaction vessel with water under stirring. After dissolution of the glycerol, sebacic acid was added to the reaction vessel. The amounts of glycerol and sebacic acid were selected to provide about a 3:2 molar ratio of free hydroxyl groups to free carboxyl groups. The reaction vessel was then fitted with a condenser to reflux water during the melt and stir steps of the polymerization, with the condenser temperature being set to 2.5° C. The reaction vessel was then heated to a temperature of 160° C. under stirring for approximately 70 minutes.

[0064]After the sebacic acid melted, the temperature was set to 150° ...

Abstract

A bone filling composition includes a bone filler. The bone filler includes microparticles of at least one elastomeric material. The at least one elastomeric material includes a poly(glycerol sebacate)-based thermoset. The poly(glycerol sebacate)-based thermoset may be porous thermoset poly(glycerol sebacate) flour, thermoset poly(glycerol sebacate) microspheres, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the bone filling composition is a bone filling composite that further includes a carrier material including a poly(glycerol sebacate) resin. A method of forming a bone filling composite includes selecting a bone filler and mixing the bone filler with a carrier material to form the bone filling composite. A method of treating a bony defect includes molding a bone filling composite and placing the bone filling composite in the bony defect. The bone filling composite includes a bone filler mixed with a carrier material.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16 / 263,064 filed Jan. 31, 2019, which claims priority to and the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 624,579 filed Jan. 31, 2018 and U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 720,296 filed Aug. 21, 2018, all of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present application is generally directed to bone filling compositions. More specifically, the present application is directed to osteostimulating elastomeric bone filling compositions.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]The current state-of-the-art in bone filler devices is to use hydroxyapatite (HA; Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) or other salts of calcium and phosphate as an osteoconductive material. The idea behind the use of the calcium salts is that they represent the mineral composition of hard bone in composition and physical properties. However, bone is composed o...
