23 Jul Adaptive Drug Delivery from an Artificial Polymer Skin with Tunable Properties for Tissue Engineering
Abstract
The present invention provides, among other things, a composite device comprised of a porous polymer membrane carrying active growth factors. Composite devices are characterized by an ability to controllably degrade for repair of bone and/or tissue defects sustained from traumatic wounds or congenital defects through eluting growth factor over readily adapted time scales inducing a natural wound healing cascade and rapid bone repair. Methods of making and using provided devices are also disclosed.
