Title: Innovations in Bone Implant Technology by Laurent D Gilles De Pelichy
Introduction
Laurent D Gilles De Pelichy is a notable inventor based in Allston, MA (US), recognized for his contributions to the field of osteogenic bone implant compositions. With a total of three patents to his name, he has made significant strides in developing materials that closely mimic the chemical composition of natural bone.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents focuses on osteoinductive bone material. This invention provides osteogenic bone implant compositions that approximate the chemical composition of natural bone. The organic component of these implant compositions is osteoinductive, despite the presence of the inorganic component. It is present in an amount sufficient to maximize the regenerative capabilities of the implant without compromising its formability and mechanical strength. The composition may include an osteoinductive powder, which consists of demineralized bone matrix (DBM) particles, a calcium phosphate powder, and, optionally, a biocompatible cohesiveness agent. This powder can be combined with a physiologically acceptable fluid to produce a formable, osteoinductive paste that self-hardens into a poorly crystalline apatitic (PCA) calcium phosphate with significant compressive strength. The bone implant materials retain their cohesiveness when introduced at an implant site and are remodeled into bone in vivo. Additionally, methods for using these implant materials to repair damaged bone and a method of assaying the content
