THE INVENTION RELATES TO IMPLANTS AND THEIR USE IN HUMAN AND VETERINARY MEDICINE. NEW IMPLANTS FORM, AFTER THEIR IMPLANTATION, A STRUCTURE THAT BODIES WITH THE SURROUNDING TISSUES. THE IMPLANTS INCLUDE A RIGID CORE COVERED WITH A MATRIX THAT PERFECTLY ADHERES AND IN WHICH ARE FILLED WITH COLLAGEN FIBERS, SOME OF THEM OVERFLOWING THE SURFACE OF SAID MATRIX. A VERY WIDE VARIETY OF SOLID, PHYSIOLOGICALLY POSSIBLE SUBSTANCES CAN BE USED. THE MATRIX MAY CONTAIN ADJUVANTS, SUCH AS FIBRONECTIN, A GROWTH FACTOR DERIVED FROM PLATELETS, BONE MORPHOGENIC PROTEINS, GROWTH FACTORS, VITAMIN D OR HORMONES, OR A COMBINATION OF EACH OF THEM. |
