Precision manufacturing of nano- and micro-fiber biomaterials
Electrospinning is a specialized additive manufacturing process used to produce nano- and micro-fiber materials with extreme precision and versatility. Medical electrospinning is the specific application of this manufacturing process to create biomaterials that can uniquely solve unmet needs in the healthcare sector.
Electrospun biomaterials are particularly useful in implantable medical products because their fibrous architecture mimics the native extracellular matrix of human tissue. When this fibrous architecture is carefully engineered, electrospun materials promote new tissue ingrowth and revitalization of damaged tissue. From this vantage point, electrospun biomaterials can serve as restorative scaffolds – guiding the body to heal itself.
