Abstract
A method of making infused bone fibers employs the following steps: cutting or shaving whole bone into bone fibers, washing the bone fibers, demineralizing or decalcifying at least partially the whole bone or bone fibers and infusing the bone fibers with a supernatant of biologic material or a polyampholyte cryoprotectant or a combination of both to create infused bone fibers. The step of infusing includes exposing the bone fibers to a negative pressure or vacuum to draw the supernatant and/or the polyampholyte cryoprotectant into the bone fibers, or alternatively, exposing the demineralized whole bone to a positive pressure to drive the supernatant and/or the polyampholyte cryoprotectant into the bone. The resultant method creates an infused bone grafting composition having bone fibers taken from whole bone, demineralized or decalcified at least partially and infused with one or more of a supernatant of biologic material or a polyampholyte cryoprotectant or both.
