1. A bio-material composition, comprising:
a dry potassium phosphate based mixture comprising: MgO present in an amount in between 30-45% of the total composition, monobasic potassium phosphate present in an amount in the range of 44-61% of the total composition, monobasic sodium phosphate present in an amount in the range of 4-9% of the total composition, proteoglycans present in an amount between 1-5% of the total composition, calcium sodium phosphosilicate present in an amount between 4-9% of the total composition, and a plurality of spherically-shaped polymers consisting of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) or poly(glycolic acid) (PGA), wherein a weight percent ratio of monobasic potassium phosphate to MgO is between about 3:1 and 1:1, wherein the dry potassium phosphate based mixture is mixed with an aqueous solution to form a reabsorbable bio-material slurry, wherein the plurality of spherically-shaped polymers are between about 1-5 weight percent of the dry potassium phosphate based mixture, and wherein the plurality of spherically-shaped polymers are absorbed faster than the remaining components of the reabsorbable bio-material slurry to thereby form pockets within the bio-material composition that enhance reabsorption of the bio-material composition.
