Biomimetic Multiphased Scaffold for Rotator Cuff Repair and Augmentation

Technology Benefits
Nanofibers can be configured for restoring function in a variety of jointsNanofibrous filaments are similar in diameter and structure to native collagen, thus improving integration of the restorative graftPolymer scaffold is flexible, and can be configured into several alignments for a variety of repair procedures and applicationsPolymer scaffold can be seeded with growth factors, chemotherapeutic agents, analgesics, anti-infectives to enhance graft incorporation
Technology Application
A polymer scaffold for increasing the success of procedures repairing torn or degenerative rotator cuffsA scaffold for use in other orthopedic procedures repairing cartilage, tendons, and connective tissues in the shoulder or other joints
Detailed Technology Description
This invention is a polymer scaffold that can enhance rotator cuff repair. This scaffold is composed of one or more sheets of nanofibers, which may also contain a hydrogel region seeded with progenitor cells for regeneration of cartilage and other co...
