A method for preparing controllably biodegradable silica fibres which includes spinning the fibres from a silica sol of controlled viscosity, controllably biodegradable silica fibres prepared according to the method, methods for controlling the biodegradability of the fibres, the use of controllably biodegradable fibres as sustained and/or controlled release delivery devices for biologically active agents, and pharmaceutical preparations containing such devices.

Biodegradable ceramic fibres from silica sols

A method for improving soft tissue attachment which includes the steps of coating a surface of a material, to which surface soft tissue is to be attached, with a coating rich in TiOand/or SiO, and applying the coating where soft tissue attachment is desired. An implant in which a surface or surfaces of the implant intended to be attached to soft tissue are coated with a porous coating rich in TiOand/or SiO, and the use of a porous surface coating rich in TiO, SiO, or TiOand SiO, for the manufacture of an implant for soft tissue attachment are also disclosed.

Method for improvement of soft tissue attachment and implants making use of said method

This invention relates to bioactive sol-gel derived silica fibers, methods for their preparation, an implantable device comprising the fibers and the use of the device for tissue guiding or bone repair.
