Claims
- 1. A kit for use in producing a rapid setting calcium phosphate mineral, said kit consisting of:
- (a) calcium and phosphate sources as dry ingredients, said phosphate source comprising at least one of monocalcium phosphate monohydrate and orthophosphoric acid free of uncombined water; and
- (b) a wet lubricating medium consisting of a solution of sodium phosphate or sodium carbonate, wherein the concentration of said sodium phosphate or sodium carbonate in said solution ranges from 0.01 to 2 M.
- 2. A kit for use in producing a rapid setting calcium phosphate mineral, said kit consisting of:
- (a) a calcium source and a phosphate source as dry ingredients, said calcium source comprising at least one of tetracalcium phosphate, tricalcium phosphate and calcium carbonate and said phosphate source comprising at least one of monocalcium phosphate monohydrate and orthophosphoric acid free of uncombined water; and
- (b) a wet lubricating medium consisting of a solution of sodium phosphate or sodium carbonate, wherein the concentration of said sodium phosphate or sodium carbonate in said solution ranges from 0.01 to 2M.
- 3. A kit for use in producing a rapid setting calcium phosphate cement that is capable of setting in 12 minutes, said kit consisting of:
- (a) calcium and phosphate sources as dry ingredients, said phosphate source comprising at least one of monocalcium phosphate monohydrate and orthophosphoric acid free of uncombined water; and
- (b) a wet lubricating medium consisting of a solution of sodium phosphate or sodium carbonate in an amount ranging from about 0.01 to 2.0 M.
- 4. The kit according to claim 3, wherein said lubricating medium is a sodium phosphate solution.
