MULTI-COMPONENT ELECTROSPUN FIBER SCAFFOLDS

摘要

A scaffold may comprise a first polymeric electrospun fiber comprising a first material having a first degradation rate, and a second polymeric electrospun fiber comprising a second material having a second degradation rate different from the first degradation rate. The first degradation rate may substantially correspond to a cell infiltration rate, and the second degradation rate may be slower than the first degradation rate. Such a scaffold may be manufactured by electrospinning a first polymer fiber having a first degradation rate by ejecting a first polymer solution from a first polymer injection system onto a mandrel, and electrospinning a second polymer fiber having a second degradation rate different from the first degradation rate by ejecting a second polymer solution from a second polymer injection system onto a mandrel. Wound healing may be improved by applying such a scaffold to a portion of a wound.
