Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention provides a biocompatible materal derived from keratin that is useful for many aspects of medical treatment of bone. The keratin materal is preferably S-sulfonated and enriched in intermediate filament proteins of hi gh molecular weight. The keratin material may be porous for use as a bone replacment and augmentation product but also provided is the use of dense keratin materials in bone treatment for use as an internal fixation applianc e in the treatment of bone fractures and bone regeneration, and a method for preparing the keratin material for use in the preservation, restoration and development of form and function of bone.
