Abstract
The disclosed composite scaffold provides a highly porous and flexible structure that substantially maintains its three-dimensional shape under tension and provides mechanical reinforcement of the repair or reconstruction-first via scaffold mechanical properties, and subsequently, through newly regenerated functional tissue as the scaffold is resorbed.

-158. (canceled)
A composite scaffold comprising:
- A) a three-dimensional support structure defining an exterior profile;
- B) a microporous matrix disposed interiorly of the support structure;
- and
- C) a plurality of spacer elements extending through the microporous matrix and connecting first and second interior surfaces of the support structure,
- wherein at least one surfaces of the support structure exterior profile is non-planar.

A composite scaffold comprising:
- a microporous matrix defining a multitude of interconnected pores opening to an exterior surface of the microporous matrix and collectively defining void space having a measurable void space volume;
- and
- a structure supporting the microporous matrix comprising at least first and second exterior surfaces separated by an interior space, at least one of the exterior surfaces being non-planar;
- and
- a plurality of spacer elements extending through the interior space and connecting the first and second exterior surfaces;
- wherein the microporous matrix is disposed within the interior space, and
- wherein the measurable void space volume of the microporous matrix is between approximately 75% and 98% of a measurable volume of the composite scaffold.

A composite scaffold comprising:
- A) a three-dimensional support structure defining an interior space within the support structure;
- B) a plurality of spacer elements extending through the interior space and connecting first and second interior surfaces of the support structure;
- C) a microporous matrix disposed within the interior space, the microporous matrix having a multitude of interconnected pores in fluid communication exteriorly of the support structure,
- wherein the microporous matrix comprises a plurality of interconnected pores having a median pore size of between approximately 10 μm to 100 μm, and
- wherein the three-dimensional support structure has any of a tapered, conical, tubular, rounded, or rectangular shape or shape of an anatomical feature.
