tutela biomimetic scaffolds
The tutela scaffold technology has been developed to promote morphological similarities to natural structures. The scaffolds are composed of a myriad of discrete ligaments having a defined size and comprise evenly distributed nano-micron sized surface features. The non-woven materials are fabricated in various shapes for a wide range of applications.
Application examples
| Flat structures: Cell seeding, wound dressing, and wound healing
| Tubular structures: Blood vessel, small diameter vascular graft engineering
| Scaffold-on-device: Covering medical devices for optimized interaction with the surrounding tissue and/or to improve drug delivery
The tutela advantage
| Biomimicity through surface features at the nano-micro scale
| Good membrane integrity and substrate adhesion
| Homogeneous structure
| Tunable porosity and rigidity
tutela materials
Medical grade materials ranging from natural and bioresorbable to non-degradable polymers, which may be loaded with active agents. Suitable for heat- sensitive substances.

technology allows for a reproducible application directly on the device to be covered and for customizing of material properties during the process.Biomimicity
(from bios, meaning life, and mimesis, meaning to imitate) is a design discipline that seeks solutions by emulating nature’s time-tested patterns and strategies, e.g., a material inspired by advantageous characteristics of the extracellular matrix (ECM).request information
