Biodegradable scaffolds
Biodegradable scaffolds are temporary structures used in medical treatments to support tissue healing and regeneration. Made from materials that naturally break down in the body over time, they act as a framework for cells to grow on, guiding the formation of new tissue. As the new tissue develops, the scaffold gradually dissolves, eliminating the need for surgical removal. These scaffolds are used in regenerative medicine, such as in repairing bones, cartilage, or skin, offering a safe and effective way to promote natural healing with minimal long-term foreign material remaining in the body.
