*Abstract

Brief Description:A group of materials that react with body fluids in mammals to promote vascular growth Suggested Uses:Dental reconstructionBone and soft tissue scaffoldsCartilage and tendon repairTreatment of bed soresTreatment of diabetic ulcersAdvantages:Controllable reaction ratesSmall quantity requiredInexpensiveMaterial can be made into various shapesDetailed Description:This invention encompasses a family of materials that react in a controllable manner with mammalian tissue to promote blood vessel growth when implanted in a mammal. Subcutaneous implantation studies in rodents indicate that a 300 percent increase in vascular growth is possible at six weeks. This material is biocompatible and bonds readily to living issue. Porous three dimensional tissue scaffolds have also been fabricated from the material. File Number: 10MST003Patent Status: US and PCT Applications Filed
