Abstract
The present invention relates to a porous scaffold having excellent tissue engineering properties, and a method for manufacturing same. The scaffold of the present invention can be manufactured by a simple process, and exhibits high tensile strength and biocompatibility, as well as an excellent cell engraftment rate, and thus can be useful as a support composition for various of human transplantation, for example, as a support for artificial ligaments or abdominal wall reinforcement.
Claims23
A method for preparing a porous scaffold, comprising:
- (a) producing a polymer mesh having pores with an area of 0.1 to 0.5 mm2 and strands each having a diameter of 0.1 to 0.3 mm from a solution of a first polymer;
- and
- (b) coating the surface of the produced polymer mesh with a solution of a second polymer having biocompatibility.
(canceled)
A porous scaffold comprising:
- (a) a first polymer mesh having pores with an area of 0.1 to 0.5 mm2 and strands each having a diameter of 0.1 to 0.3 mm;
- and
- (b) a second polymer having biocompatibility with which the surface of the first polymer mesh is coated.
(canceled)
A method for preparing a dual structure porous scaffold comprising embossing a first polymer having biocompatibility into a mesh form on the surface of a support containing a second polymer having biocompatibility.
(canceled)
A dual structure porous scaffold including the following:
- (a) a support containing a second polymer having biocompatibility;
- and
- (b) a first polymer mesh which is bonded to the surface of the support and has biocompatibility.
