  • Patent number: 8062655
    Abstract: A composite resilient scaffold may be used to grow, repair, and/or regenerate tissue such as articular cartilage. The composite scaffold is porous and at least substantially bioremovable. The composite scaffold includes a support structure coated with a discontinuous coating of separate and discrete particles of a ceramic material such as calcium phosphate. The calcium phosphate material may have a porous reticulated structure.
