Claims27
A handheld electrofocused blow spinning (EFBS) device, comprising:
- a spinneret comprising an outer sheath and an inner needle;
- a syringe, configured to hold a spinning solution, fluidly connected to the spinneret inner needle;
- at least one gas regulator;
- and
- a single source of gas fluidly connected to the syringe via a first gas flow and the spinneret outer sheath via a second gas flow, such that the single source of gas is configured to simultaneously pressurize the syringe and propel gas out of the spinneret outer sheath.
