Amination of Polymeric Braid Structures to Improve Tendon Healing: An Experimental Comparison

Amination of Polymeric Braid Structures to Improve Tendon Healing: An Experimental Comparison

Abstract Several polymers are researched for tendon repair as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polylactic acid (PLA). These are biocompatible and useful in scaffolding repair though with minimal success due to long‐term failure. There is a need to improve such scaffolds' design and physical...
