Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention relates to an implant comprising: a sheet of bacterial cellulose having a macro-pattern positioned on at least a portion thereof. The invention also relates to a method for making such an implant.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of making an implant comprising: providing a bioreactor having a macro-patterned surface formed into a bottom surface of the bioreactor; and culturing a bacteria on the macro-patterned surface forming a sheet of bacterial cellulose imparted with the macro-pattern without the use of additional processing, wherein the sheet includes pores of a size from about 0.5 mm to 5 mm and the pores do not pass completely through the sheet.…
