Interpore International

Researchers are also exploring ways of using inorganic materials, especially those closely related to natural hone material, for artificial bone filling. Interpore International of Irvine, California, for example, received approval in 1992 for its hydroxyapatite-based hone substitute called Pro Osteon. The material is made from coral that has been heated to temperatures of about 2000°C to obtain hydroxyapatite (a primary component of coral) of 95 percent purity. The material is then formed into a scaffolding resembling natural bone, and this final product is irradiated with gamma rays to sterilize it. [Pg.60]
