AI Technical Summary
Existing rotator cuff patch materials have shortcomings in terms of mechanical properties, degradation cycle, pore structure and biocompatibility, resulting in poor rotator cuff repair effects, slow postoperative recovery and the possibility of secondary damage.
The design employs alternating structural and biological layers. The structural layers are made of materials such as collagen, gelatin, collagen fibers, or silk fibroin, while the biological layers are made of materials such as collagen, gelatin, chitosan, or silk fibroin. A porous structure is formed through hot pressing, avoiding the use of chemical cross-linking agents and ensuring the biocompatibility and safety of the material.
It provides good mechanical support, promotes cell migration and healing, has a controllable degradation cycle, reduces the risk of inflammatory response, improves the biocompatibility and safety of the patch, and enhances tear resistance and mechanical support.
