Preform produced by electrospinning, method for producing the same and use of such a preform

摘要

The invention relates to a method for producing a preform by means of an electrospinning process. The present invention also relates to the use of the present preform as a substrate for growing human or animal tissue thereon. The present invention furthermore relates to a method for growing human or animal tissue on a substrate, wherein the present preform is used as the substrate.

主权项

1. A method for implanting a tubular preform for connecting one or more blood vessels, comprising:
providing an electrospun, porous, biodegradable tubular preform having membranes produced by electrospinning at least two fibre layers over submoulds, the tubular preform having an open fiber-like structure and the tubular preform having at least two branches for joining two blood vessels; and implanting the tubular preform in a human or animal body, wherein the tubular preform decomposes substantially completely and is replaced by natural tissue, and wherein the tubular preform forms at least part of a blood vessel.
