Mesh Fiber Members and Methods for Forming and Using Same for Treating Damaged Biological Tissue

摘要

A mesh fiber member having a plurality of biodegradable fibers, the mesh fiber member being configured to induce modulated healing of damaged biological tissue when deployed proximate thereto. The strands comprise an extracellular matrix (ECM) composition or an ECM-mimicking biomaterial composition, such as poly(glycerol sebacate) (PGS), and can include a biodegradable ECM, polymeric or ECM-mimicking biomaterial composition coating.
