Abstract:
The present invention provides a novel way to replenish the disc using retooled disc compositions to repair degenerative discs. There is no better source of proteoglycans than the actual disc material ( 6 ) itself. To this end, there has been developed a technique to remove the nucleus pulposus and retool the morphology of the nucleus pulposus to create a powder material ( 10 ) that is dry and can be stored at room temperature for long periods of time. This powder ( 10 ) can then be reconstituted with a variety of fluids, the most suitable being normal saline or lactated ringers to form a flowable mixture ( 20 ).

Claim (Index 2):
The aqueous spinal disc regenerative composition of  claim 1  wherein the freeze-dried micronized nucleus pulposus provided for mixing in step (vi) is in the form of a powder.
