pHEMA-nHA Encapsulation and Delivery of Vancomycin and rhBMP-2 Enhances its Role as a Bone Graft Substitute

Abstract: The elasticity, osteoconductivity, and rhBMP-2/vancomycin delivery characteristics of pHEMA-nHA may benefit orthopaedic reconstructions or fusions with enhanced safety and efficiency and reduced infection risk.

“…The pHEMA-nHA-vancomycin composite with 50 wt% nHA and 4.8 or 0 wt% vancomycin was prepared as previously reported [17,27]. Briefly, distilled hydrogel monomer 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) was crosslinked with 2 wt% ethylene glycol dimethacrylate and ethylene glycol by aqueous radical initiators ammonium persulfate and sodium metabisulfite in the presence of 50 wt% hydroxyapatite (Alfa Aesar, Ward Hill, MA, USA) and 4.8 wt% vancomycin powder (Hospira Inc, Lake Forest, IL, USA).…”

“…Our previous study showed that upon 4 and 48 hours equilibration in water, about 80% and about 50% of the preencapsulated vancomycin remains within the graft, respectively [17]. Grafts with 0 wt% vancomycin were equilibrated in water for 48 hours prior to use.…”

“…In contrast to this study, most researches have explored the release of proteins from delivery systems at 37 °C and often over a shorter time period (27,28). In fact, during the loading and characterization of the release of rhBMP-2, it is important to ensure that the protein is always in its active form.…”
