Device for manufacturing large amount of polymeric micro-scaffolds

A device for manufacture of polymeric micro-scaffolds, the device comprising:

• a first solution storage part for storing a polymeric support structure solution;
• a second solution storage part for storing an emulsifier solution;
• a gas storage part, connected to both the first solution storage part and the second solution storage part, for providing a transporting gas for transporting the polymeric support structure solution and the emulsifier solution;
• a compression part for applying a pressure to the transporting gas supplied to the first solution storage part and the second solution storage part;
• a pressure controller for controlling the compression part so as to apply pressures to the transporting gas flowing into the first solution storage part and the second solution storage part, respectively;
• a scaffold injector for receiving the polymeric support structure solution and the emulsifier solution respectively supplied by the transporting gas and releasing a scaffold dispersion resulting from coupling between the polymeric support structure solution and the emulsifier solution;
• and
• a scaffold production part for receiving the scaffold dispersion released from the scaffold injector, removing an organic solvent and a dispersion medium from the scaffold dispersion, and producing polymeric micro-scaffolds.
