Abstract
An implantable repair device for the repair, augmentation or replacement of tissue, uses silk fibroin and has a smooth surface and a porous surface. The smooth surface has a measured Sa value of less than approximately 0.1 μm when using Atomic Force Microscopy when samples of the repair device are fully hydrated by imaging through fluid in peak force tapping mode. A method of preparing such an implantable repair device includes preparing a gel from a fibroin solution in a mold, preparing a material by subjecting the gel to one or more steps of freezing and thawing the gel, and creating at least a porous surface on the device, wherein a portion of the mold is adapted to provide at least one smooth surface.

Abstract
An implantable repair device for the repair, augmentation or replacement of tissue, the device comprising silk fibroin and wherein the device comprises a smooth surface and a porous surface. The smooth surface is defined as a surface having a measured Sa value of less than approximately 0.1µm when using Atomic Force Microscopy (using, for example, the Bruker Dimension Icon System), when samples of the repair device are fully hydrated by imaging through fluid in peak force tapping mode. Also covered is a method of preparing an implantable repair device or a portion or layer of such a device for the repair, augmentation or replacement of tissues, the method comprising the steps of: preparing a gel from a fibroin solution in a mould; preparing a material by subjecting the gel to one or more steps of freezing and thawing the gel; and creating at least a porous surface on said device, wherein in preparing the gel from the fibroin solution, a portion of the mould is adapted to provide at least one smooth surface.

Abstract
A method for the preparation of a regenerated silk fibroin solution comprises the steps of: treating silk or silk cocoons with an ionic reagent comprising an aqueous solution of monovalent cations and monovalent anions, the cations and anions having ionic radii of at least 1.05 Angstroms and a Jones-Dole B coefficient of between −0.001 and −0.05 at 25° C.; and subsequently degumming the treated silk or silk cocoons; or alternatively, degumming silk or silk cocoons; and subsequently treating the degummed silk or silk cocoons with an ionic reagent comprising an aqueous solution of monovalent cations and monovalent anions, the cations and anions having ionic radii of at least 1.05 Angstroms and a Jones-Dole B coefficient of between −0.001 and −0.05 at 25° C. The invention also extends to fibroin solution, a fibroin material and an implant useful for cartilage repair.

Abstract
A method for the preparation of an implantable material for the repair, augmentation or replacement of bone from a fibroin solution, the method comprising the steps of: preparing a gel from the fibroin solution; preparing a material by subjecting the gel to one or more steps of freezing and thawing the gel, wherein the step of preparing the gel from the fibroin solution is performed in the presence of phosphate ions. The material may be treated with calcium ionstoform a fibroin-apatite. A further method comprises the step of treating the material with an isocyanate. The invention also extends to a method for the preparation of an implantable material, wherein a regenerated fibroin solutionis used. Also, there is an implantable material and an implant.
