[A method for the preparation of demineralized bone matrix]

A procedure for preparation of a demineralized bone matrix (DBM) implant is demonstrated. The main steps of this method are refrigeration, milling/sieving, defatting, demineralization, freeze-drying and sterilization. These steps are standardized but also viable. Therefore this method is on the one hand international comparable on the other hand it creates the possibility for further investigations to improve the osteoinductive capacity of DBM.
