Title:
METHOD FOR FORMING SCAFFOLD
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2017047188
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for forming a scaffold.SOLUTION: A method of forming a scaffold includes: dissolving a polymer in a solvent to form a polymer solution; adding an additive precipitating agent to the polymer solution; precipitating and expanding the polymer from the polymer solution to form a scaffold; and removing the solvent from the scaffold. Prior to adding the precipitating agent, the method further comprises adding at least one of calcium phosphate or a bioactive additive to the polymer solution to form a mixture including the polymer solution and at least one of calcium phosphate or the bioactive additive.SELECTED DRAWING: None
