Synthetic graft, method of manufacture and uses thereof

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a scaffold for use in a body of a living being, the scaffold comprising a biodegradable portion; and a non-degradable portion; where the biodegradable portion form the major portion of the scaffold; and where the biodegradable portion and the non-degradable portion both comprise biocompalible polymers. Disclosed herein too is a method of manufacturing a scaffold for tissue regeneration, the method comprising braiding a first fiber with a second fiber to form a braid; where the first fiber comprises a biodegradable polymer and where the second fiber comprises a non-degradable polymer; where the first fiber is present in an amount of greater than 50 wt %, based on a total weight of the scaffold.
