Nerve, tissue engineering with polymers

The first use of PGA was as a degradable suture, DEXON , approved by FDA in 1969. It was also marketed as an internal bone fixation device. Biofix , till 1996 [11]. PGA has been extensively used for fabricating tissue engineered scaffolds and often with other degradable polymers, it has found its application in regeneration of bone [12, 13], cartilage [14, 15], tooth [16], tendon [17], nerve [18, 19] and spine [20]. Figure 1.1 shows a nerve tube (Neurotube from Synovis Micro Companies Alliance) fabricated from absorbable woven PGA mesh. [Pg.3]
