Abstract
The development and construction of implantable artificial organs, and a process for manufacturing three-dimensional polymer microscale and nanoscale structures for use as scaffolds in the growth of biological structures such as hollow organs, luminal structures, or other structures within the body are disclosed.
Claims21
A fiber comprising an electrospun polymer and a radio opaque compound.
-20. (canceled)
The fiber of claim 22, wherein the fiber orientation is selected from the group consisting of substantially parallel, randomly oriented, and a combination thereof.
A method of fabricating a radio opaque fiber, the method comprising:
- depositing, by electrospinning at least one radio opaque fiber onto a preform;
- and
- removing the at least one radio opaque fiber from the preform.
