OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the biological safety of manufactured heterologous deproteinized bone and to provide an experimental basis for clinical applications. METHODS: Deproteinized bone (10 mm) and leaching liquor were made from pig ribs with a series of physical and chemical methods, then were evaluated through acute and subacute toxicity test, hemolysis test, pyrogen test, intracutaneous test, intramuscular implantation test and cytotoxity test. RESULTS: No obvious toxicity, hemolysis, pyrogenic characteristics, skin irritation, inflammatory reaction after intramuscular implantation and cytotoxity were observed. CONCLUSIONS: The heterologous deproteinized bone has good biological safety and meets all the demands of scaffold material for tissue engineering.
