Synthetic Biomaterials for Reconstructive Surgery With the Addition of BMP-2 and Erythropoietin

Abstract

Synthetic materials based on Ultra-High Molecular Weight PolyEthylene (UHMWPE), PolyEtherEtherKetone (PEEK) and PolyLActide (PLA) with the addition of recombinant bone growth factor BMP-2 and erythropoietin have been developed, which have high biocompatibility and osteoinductive properties.
