Abstract
The present disclosure provides reinforced hydrogel structures, methods of reinforcing hydrogel structures, and methods of treating ischemic disorders using the reinforced hydrogel structures.
Claims16
A method of preparing a reinforced structure, comprising contacting a mesh immersed in an uncured photocurable bioink with a first hollow tube, an outer wall of the hollow tube being continuous, and irradiating the mesh immersed in the uncured photocurable bioink in contact with the hollow tube, thereby adhering the mesh to the hollow tube via a hydrogel formed from the photocurable bioink to form a tube reinforced by the mesh.
