The present disclosure provides a bone-implantable device and methods of use. The bone-implantable device comprises a body having an exterior surface, wherein a portion of the exterior surface includes a cured osteostimulative material comprising MgO.

Materials for additive manufacturing. More precisely, a non-breaking filament, preferably for 3D printing bone substitutes. The filament includes 50% to 99% in weight to the total weight of the filament (w/w) of a polymeric matrix and 1% to 50% w/w of tricalcium silicate. Also, a method and composition for preparing the filament. Additionally, the uses of the filament, such as for example in the dental field; especially, for providing suitable bone and dental substitutes.

The present invention is directed to compositions containing polymer matrix, fiber and/or additives which are suitable for load bearing applications for medical devices. The matrix can be formed from a group of polymers which resorb inside the body after implantation. These compositions contain reinforcing fibers that are incorporated into a resorbable polymer matrix to improve properties such as mechanical. The reinforcing fibers can be resorbable, non-resorbable, natural, or metallic. Additives can be incorporated into the matrix material or the fibers or both to provide a secondary effect. These additives can be bioceramics to provide an osteoconductive effect; antimicrobial particles such as silver; coloring agents, and radiopaque additives to make the implants visible under fluoroscopy. The additives may also contribute to improve mechanical properties. The Composite composition with Matrix, Fibers and/or additives can provide enhanced functionality of mechanical, Osteoconductive and tailored degradation characteristics that can result in superior properties conventionally not achievable for Bioresorbable composites.

Disclosed are 3D-printed scaffolds having high bone cement content, and in particular, high hydroxyapatite (HA) content. The disclosed methods and compositions provide the ability to print biocompatible scaffolds having patient-specific geometries with controlled porosity, microstructure, osteoconductivity, and mechanical strength. The scaffolds may be used for in vitro and in vivo craniofacial and dental applications.

A tendon/ligament repair implant for treatment of tears or lesions of tendons and ligaments, including capsular reconstruction, and compositions for delivering calcium and/or phosphate ions in combination with a collagen solution that can be placed between soft tissue and bone to facilitate healing of the soft tissue-bone interface are provided. The implant may incorporate features of rapid deployment and fixation by arthroscopic means that complement current procedures; tensile properties that result in desired sharing of anatomical load between the implant and native tendon during rehabilitation, or, in situations where the native tissue cannot be repaired tensile properties that provide for substitution of the native tissue selected porosity and longitudinal pathways for tissue in-growth; and may include an at least partially bioabsorbable construction to provide transfer of additional load to new tendon-like tissue and native tendon over time. The compositions can be pre-dried into a thin sheet of material and delivered as a pre-formed matrix, or as a gel or paste which sets in place to form the matrix between the soft tissue and bone.
