Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Engineering
  • Tissue Engineering
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Critically-sized bone defects pose significant clinical challenges.
  • Current fabrication methods for bone scaffolds lack efficiency and reproducibility.
  • Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) is a promising biomaterial for bone regeneration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an automated and reproducible manufacturing process for perforated PCL tubular scaffolds.
  • To improve fabrication efficiency and eliminate discontinuities in tubular scaffolds.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of these scaffolds in promoting bone healing in a preclinical model.

Main Methods:

  • Direct solution electrospinning of PCL onto a rotating mandrel.
  • Automated precision perforation using a soldering iron system.
  • In vivo implantation of scaffolds loaded with bone morphogenic protein-2 in a rat femoral defect model.

Main Results:

  • Fabrication time reduced by 67% with improved reproducibility.
  • Scaffolds exhibited comparable mechanical integrity to manually assembled ones.
  • In vivo studies demonstrated significant bone formation over 8 weeks, similar to the original design.

Conclusions:

  • The automated method offers an efficient and reproducible approach to manufacturing PCL tubular scaffolds.
  • The perforated scaffold design promotes vascularization and bone regeneration.
  • This technology enables customizable scaffold dimensions and perforation patterns for bone defect repair.
