In vivo tissue engineering devices, methods and regenerative and cellular medicine employing scaffolds made of absorbable material

An implantable prosthesis comprising:

• a three-dimensional, tissue infiltratable body of biocompatible material having a proximal end and a distal end spaced from the proximal end, the body including:
• a core extending along a core axis from the proximal end to the distal end;
• a plurality of body segments arranged circumferentially about the core, each of the plurality of body segments extending in an outward radial direction away from the core axis, each body segment including at least two body panels fabricated from a sheet of the biocompatible material, the sheet being folded about a first fold oriented in the outward radial direction to form the body panels;
• and
• a plurality of chambers formed by the plurality of body segments, the plurality of chambers arranged to face in the outward radial direction away from the core.
