As one of the long-established and necessary medical devices, surgical sutures play an
essentially important role in the closing and healing of damaged tissues and organs …

Surgical sutures are used to facilitate closure and healing of surgical‐or trauma‐induced
wounds by upholding tissues together to facilitate healing process. There is a wide range of …

Translation of scaffold-based bone tissue engineering (BTE) therapies to clinical use
remains, bluntly, a failure. This dearth of translated tissue engineering therapies (including …

Biomaterial scaffolds have been extensively used to deliver growth factors to induce new
bone formation. The pharmacokinetics of growth factor delivery has been a critical regulator …

Sutures pervade surgeries, but their performance is limited by the mechanical mismatch with
tissues and the lack of advanced functionality. Existing modification strategies result in either …

Drug delivery using suitable polymeric devices has gathered momentum in the recent years
due to their remarkable properties. The versatility of polymeric materials makes them reliable …

New hybrid nanofibers prepared with chitosan (CTS), containing a total amount of
polyethylene oxide (PEO) down to 3.6 wt.%, and silica precursors were produced by …

Implant-associated infections are among the most serious post-surgical complications of
medical device implants, including prosthetic joints (eg, hip, knee and shoulder) and fracture …

Proteins tend to lose their biological activity due to their fragile structural conformation during
formulation, storage, and delivery. Thus, the inability to stabilize proteins in controlled …

There is an increasing need to control the type, quantity, and timing of growth factors
released during tissue healing. Sophisticated delivery systems offering the ability to deliver …
