초록
We developed a novel method to fabricate a nerve guide conduit (NGC) with the porosity of submicron pore sizes (to prevent fibrous tissue infiltration) and hydrophilicity (for effective oxygen and nutrient permeation) using poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and Pluronic F127 by a modified immersion precipitation method designed by our laboratory. It was recognized that the hydrophilized PLGA/F127 (3 wt%) tube can be a good candidate as a NGC from the analyses of its morphology, mechanical strength, hydrophilicity, model nutrient permeability and in vivo nerve regeneration behavior using a rat model.
