High porosity electrospun scaffolds for small diameter vascular graft applications

Porosity, pore size and pore interconnectivity have been shown to be critical factors for cellular infiltration into vascular grafts. While electrospinning has been shown to produce many promising characteristics for the fabrication of vascular graft scaffolds, it has yet to create sufficient porosi...
