- *Abstract
-
This material is a biologically compatible inorganic material that when placed in a mammal chemically reacts with body fluids in a way that promotes growth of soft and hard tissue specifically by increasing the number and diameter of blood vessels. The material reacts to form a biologically useful material and will ideally be resorbed by the body and eventually be replaced by new tissue. This method of increasing vascularity can be used to treat blood deficient sites in mammals, (wounds, ulcers, sores, severe burns) which require additional blood flow for healing.
