  • Publication number: 20220008209
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a resorbable scaffold for regeneration of meniscal tissue is disclosed. The method includes fabricating a polymer filament network using 3D printing in accordance with a digital model of the polymer filament network, such that the polymer filament network will include a first plurality of layers comprising the circumferentially-oriented filaments alternating with a second plurality of layers comprising the radially-oriented filaments, the polymer filament network having a three-dimensional shape and geometry between a first layer and a second layer which is substantially the same as a three-dimensional shape and geometry of the resorbable scaffold.

  • Patent number: 11116640
    Abstract: A resorbable scaffold for partial meniscus regeneration. The resorbable scaffold includes a polymer filament network and a matrix in the polymer filament network. The polymer filament network includes alternating layers of circumferentially-oriented filaments and radially-oriented filaments, and has a three-dimensional shape and geometry which is substantially the same as a three-dimensional shape and geometry of the resorbable scaffold.
