A porous textile product made from bioactive glass fibers. The fibers in the product are of at least two types, fiber A and fiber B, with fiber A being made from a bioactive glass, and fiber B being made from a weakly bioactive glass.

Bioactive product and its use

A porous composite suitable for filling a recess or a through-passing hole in an implant. The composite includes particles A prepared from a bioactive material and particles B prepared from a non-bioactive material or weakly bioactive material, which is sintratable with the bioactive material, such that particles A and particles B have been sintered together to a porous composite. Particles A and particles B are essentially homogeneous in size. Also disclosed is an implant which contains a core and the composite.
