| Abstract: |
Disclosed are a series
of kneadable, pliable polymers for use in forming compositions
that be used as bone wax. Polymers can include a polysaccharide
backbone and can be biocompatible and thrombogenic. In addition,
the compositions can be osteoconductive as well as biodegradable.
The disclosed compositions can be used to help control bleeding
from bone surfaces as well as to promote bone regeneration and
fusion. The compositions can inhibit the growth of microorganisms
in implantation sites and can be loaded with additional bioactive
agents to further promote healing and infection prevention.
