Vascularity affinity precursor structure for musculo-skeletal tissue healing

Carol O'Sullivan (Inventor)

Research output: Patent

Abstract

The present invention relates to an implantable device configured to deliver, to an injured bone site, components for revascularisation and bone repair, the device comprising: a first osteoconductive scaffold component adapted to hold and deliver to the injured bone site, growth factors for inducing cellular events that initiate healing; and comprising a second osteoconductive scaffold component adapted to hold and deliver to the injured bone site, viable autologous osteogenic and/or angiogenic cells, and wherein the device also comprises a third scaffold component adapted to promote bone cell proliferation and vascularity, whereby the scaffold components provide a stable mechanical environment for promoting bone cell proliferation and vascularity. The present invention also relates to a method of manufacture of the implantable device.
