SCAFTEX® Non-Woven Bio-Textile for Implantable Devices

Classic tissue engineering utilizes absorbable non-woven biomedical textiles from a variety of fibers to aid in cell growth and proliferation, and medical device companies rely on these materials for implantable devices that must degrade over time. Non-woven bio-textiles such as SCAFTEX® and others have become the material of choice for many tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications, and with superior surface area, high void volume, and excellent permeability, they are now also increasingly used in a wide variety of restorative applications ranging from orthopedic reconstruction and wound management to cosmetic surgery.
