Electrospinning of Artelon® in collaboration with IFP Research and Chalmers University of Technology expand the opportunities for Artimplant

Until recently, Artelon® has been made in the form of fibers, scaffolds, film and granules. It can now also be made as nanostructures, fibers in the 100 nm range that is made by electrospinning.

”This is good news for people involved in tissue engineering” says Artimplant CEO Tord Lendau. ”This opens for new opportunities helping the body to heal itself. Possible applications could be wound care, reconstruction of blood vessels or to replace injured cardiac muscle tissue after an infarction. Over the long term this could result in the development of new methods for ”tissue engineering” continues Tord Lendau. ”This does not imply any immediate revenues but will, in the long run, increase the use of Artelon®. Today, none of the product development projects at Artimplant is based on this technique” Tord Lendau points out.
