Abstract:
A medical implant comprises a slurry of bone particles that are injected into a vertebral body under pressure. The liquid component of the slurry may be aspirated while the slurry is being injected so that the bone particles of the slurry pack into the central area of the vertebral body to provide structural support. The injected slurry may be agitated during the procedure to maximize the structural strength of the implant after the procedure.

Claim (Index 25):
A medical implant for use in structurally supporting vertebral bodies, the implant comprising a slurry of bone particles, wherein the slurry comprises 30% to 85% bone by mass, wherein at least 90% of the bone particles have a characteristic size of 1 micrometer to 1000 micrometers, wherein the bone particles include at least two populations of bone particles having different mean characteristic sizes, each population comprising at least 10% by mass of the bone particles, and wherein the particle size distribution has a uniformity coefficient D60/D10 of at least 2.
