*Abstract: Borate glass compositions which are biocompatible and bioactive in a mammal have been developed for biological applications. These glasses react substantially faster with the body fluids than silicate based bioactive glasses to form an initial amorphous calcium-rich phosphate material which eventually becomes hydroxyapatite (HA).Borate glasses have several important advantages for biological use such as their ease of preparation, ability to be made into glass particulates, microspheres or fibers at relatively low temperatures without crystallization, and, particularly, their biocompatibility and high degree of bioactivity. Self-bonded scaffolds of borate glass fibers react rapidly with body fluids such that they have lost 60% of their initial weight and are completely impregnated with vascularized soft tissue in less than 4 weeks.
