Abstract: The present invention provides an assembly for repairing a tear or lesion in a body tissue such as a meniscus including a scaffold material and methods using such an assembly in repairing a tear or lesion.
Abstract: The invention presents a new method to prepare biomedical polyurethanes with high tensile and tear strengths. Such polyurethanes are especially interesting for making foams thereof, e.g. as meniscus implants. A new method, applicable to the biomedical polyurethanes, has been found to make such foams, that can be used as scaffolds. This method is based on salt leaching and phase separation.
