Abstract

Damage to an organ or tissue remains a problem despite advances in medical technology. Available treatments include organs transplantation, surgical reconstruction such as mechanical devices. However, all these methodologies have several contraindications. In recent years, tissue engineering methods is considered as means to replace diseased or damaged organs. For these kind of application, the choice of scaffolding material is crucial to the success of the technique. In the function of the application, the synthetic scaffolds should meet several criteria, including: good biocompatibility, sufficient mechanical properties, and adequate biodegradability. The aim of our study was to evaluate polymeric scaffolds having specific characteristics about biocompatibility and biodegradability.
