Medical electrospinning is a specialized manufacturing process used to produce nano- and micro-fiber materials.
Electrospun materials 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 materials can be considered scaffolds – guiding the body to heal itself.
