An osteogenic composition is prepared by a process including the steps of
subjecting demineralized bone to an extraction medium to produce an
insoluble extraction product and a soluble extraction product, separating
the insoluble extraction product and the soluble extraction product,
drying the soluble extraction product to remove all or substantially all
of the moisture in the soluble extraction product, and combining the
dried soluble extraction product of step c) with demineralized bone
particles. Preferably, the process does not involve heating.
