Bone matrix compositions and, more specifically, demineralized bone matrix (DBM) having increased osteoinductive capacity and methods for its production are provided. Specifically, DBM derived from cortical bone from the periosteal layer of bone are provided. Compositions comprising a disproportionate amount of DBM prepared from bone derived from the periosteal and / or middle layer of bone are provided. Preparations of and methods of use of periosteal DBM compositions are disclosed.

Bioresorbable inflatable devices and tunnel incision tool and methods for treating and enlarging a tissue or an organ or a tube or a vessel or a cavity. The device is composed of a hollow expanding pouch made of a resorbable material or a perforated material that can be attached to a filling element. The pouch can be filled with a biocompatible materials, one or more times in few days interval, after the insertion of the device. While filling the pouch every few days the tissue expands and the filling material if it is bioactive start to function. The tunnel incision tool composed of a little blade that emerges from the surface of the tool in order to make shallow incisions in the surrounding tissue therefore enabling easy expansion of the tissue. This device and method can be used for example for: horizontal and vertical bone augmentation in the jaws and the tunnel incision tool is used to make shallow incisions in the periosteum when using the tunnel technique, sinus augmentation when the device is placed beneath the Schneiderian tissue, vessels widening if the pouch become a stent, fixating bone fractures etc.

Devices and methods for gradual displacing of the soft tissues covering bones. The gap developing between the bone and the displaced soft tissue will be filled with bone callus as it is in distraction osteogenesis. The devices and methods allow formation of bone in distraction osteogenesis without cutting a segment of the bone. The devices and methods are particularly useful in dental implantology for vertical ridge augmentation by displacing the periosteal tissue and for sinus lift by displacing the Schneiderian membrane. The devices and methods can also regenerate soft tissue between the bone and the displaced soft tissue.

Noninvasive pain treatment of skeletal cancer metastases in cancer patients utilizing planar or focused ultrasound. The ultrasound energy preferably targets at the Periosteum or immediate soft-bone-tissue interface, where local sensory pain receptors are directly affected by the growing tumor, to generate heat to destroy local sensory pain receptors so as to interrupt or block the pain feedback pathway to the central nervous system.

A longitudinal minimal-invasion bone cutter for tubular bones comprises a bone cutting end bone cutting device and far end positioning devices. The bone cutting end bone cutting device is slidingly sleeved on a positioning adjusting guide rail which is in a long-strip shape, a sliding groove is arranged in the middle of the positioning adjusting guide rail along the length direction, and scales of the positioning adjusting guide rail are arranged along the sliding groove. The far end positioning devices are symmetrically sleeved at two ends of the positioning adjusting guide rail slidingly. By means of the longitudinal minimal-invasion bone cutter, medical workers can perform longitudinal bone cutting operations on the tubular bones according to treatment needs, and the longitudinal minimal-invasion bone cutter is convenient to operate. When the operations are performed, the longitudinal minimal-invasion bone cutter provides convenience for transverse traction of bone blocks and meets needs of angiitis treatment. The bone cutting operations performed by the aid of the longitudinal minimal-invasion bone cutter belong to minimal-invasion operations, do not damage nerves, blood vessels, soft tissues and periostea, have small invasion, facilitate reconstruction and union of bones, and meet needs of longitudinal traction treatment of the tubular bones. By means of the longitudinal minimal-invasion bone cutter, safety and accuracy of the longitudinal bone cutting operations of the tubular bones are improved, medical workers can conveniently perform the operations, and the operation effect is guaranteed.
