Abstract
A bone substitute comprised of collagen material in the form of fleece or a spatial meshwork having apatite, the mineral component of bone material, admixed therewith. The structure of the collagen material may be strengthened by carbohydrate or starch or may be applied, in the form of a coating, to a honeycomb-like basic structure made from a variety of materials. Such a bone substitute has a good support quality, promotes bone growth and also has a good styptic or haemostatic effect.
