Treated by Antibiotic-calcium Hydroxyapatite Ceramic Composites
نویسندگان
چکیده
The efficacy of locally implanted antibiotic-calcium hydroxyapatite ceramic composites was investigated for the treatment of experimentally produced, implantrelated osteomyelitis in rats. High concentrations of antibiotics were detected at the site of infection and bacteria were eradicated without removal of the metal implants. Parenteral antibiotics and surgical debridement, alone or in combination with antibiotic-impregnated acrylic bone cement, all failed to eradicate the infections.

Calcium Hydroxyapatite Ceramic
Porous blocks of calcium hydroxyapatite ceramic were evaluated as delivery systems for the sustained release of antibiotics. We tested gentamicin sulphate, cefoperazone sodium, and fiomoxef sodium in powder form placed in a cylindrical cavity in calcium hydroxyapatite blocks, using in vitro studies of elution and in vivo studies in rats. Gentamicin sulphate gave a maximum concentration within t...
متن کاملA critical comparison on biocompatibility of different phases of sol - gel derived calcium phosphates as bone graft materials
Calcium Phosphate cement has been the subject of intense investigation over the past few years. This study compares difference in biocompatibility between the three main phases of Ca-P, namely Hydroxyapatite, Dicalcium phosphate and β-Tricalcium phosphate. It involves composite preparation followed by cell test. Material parameters were stoichiometry (Hydroxyapatite with Ca-P ratio of 1.67, Dic...

This in vitro investigation of the behavior of two types of calcium phosphate glass ceramics on the basis of phosphates of biogenic or synthetic origin prepared from initial mixtures with different particle size has revealed that some different factors affect the behavior, namely the phase composition of composite, fraction of open porosity, and average diameter of pore channels. It was establi...
