Abstract
Collagen matrix granulate blend, and process for making and using a collagen matrix or granulate blend including collagen and particles of a biphasic calcium phosphate/hydroxyapatite (CAP/HAP) bone substitute material having a sintered CAP core and having its total external surface covered by at least one closed epitactically grown layer of nanocrystalline HAP deposited on the external surface of the sintered CAP core, whereby the epitactically grown nanocrystals have the same size and morphology as human bone mineral, wherein the closed epitactically grown layer of nanocrystalline HAP is transformed from the CAP on the external surface of the sintered CAP core has a non-homogeneous external surface comprising individual clusters of flat crystal platelets consisting of epitactically grown HAP nanocrystals and coarse areas between the individual clusters, whereby the percentage of the coarse areas between the individual clusters as measured by SEM is at least 20% of the total surface.
