Composition for bone regeneration, which comprises a) a first phase (3) comprising a plurality of reticulated hydrogel fragments (1) having an average diameter of less than 1000 μm and incorporating a number of calcium phosphate particles (2 ); and b) a second phase (4) comprising a physiologically compatible aqueous liquid, which acts as a carrier for the fragments; incorporating the fragments in the second phase (4); characterized in that c) the calcium phosphate particles (2), have an average diameter of less than 10 μm; and d) the amount of calcium phosphate particles (2) is less than 20%, by weight, of the first phase. e) the crosslinked hydrogel portions (1), are composed of biodegradable polymeric material, which is crosslinkable to a dense gel structure. |
