Patent ID: 8431147

Claim:
A method of treating a bone condition, the method comprising: providing a demineralized bone matrix (DBM) composition, comprising bioresorbable solids admixed with a liquid carrier to form a malleable implant composition, said bioresorbable solids present at a level of about 0.1 grams per cubic centimeter to about 0.7 grams per cubic centimeter of said composition, wherein said bioresorbable solids comprise a particulate solid collagen material and a particulate solid DBM material, said particulate solid collagen material present in a weight ratio no less than 1:12 and no greater than 1:2 relative to said particulate solid DBM material and said liquid carrier comprises an aqueous gel of alginate, wherein said aqueous gel of alginate is present at a level of about 0.01 grams per cubic centimeter to about 0.1 grams per cubic centimeter of said composition; applying a divalent cation to the DBM composition; and administering the composition to a location in a subject where bone growth is desired.
