Abstract

The development of a completely biodegradable composite artificial tendon prosthesis that mimics the structure and stress-strain response of natural tendon is presented. The artificial tendon is a composite of water-swollen poly(2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate)/poly(caprolactone) blend hydrogel matrix reinforced with poly(lactic acid) fibres.
