SPINAPOR2: Surface Modification and Optimisation of Textile-Based Implants for the Treatment of Spinal Disorders.

Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Allemand)

The aim of the original SPINAPOR project was to further develop the TISSUPOR wound healing technology for application in the treatment of spinal disorders. Textile implants based on the novel three-dimensional embroidery structuring methods were developed with promising characteristics for use in the repair of intervertebral disc annulus and nucleus lesions. A clear need has been identified for textile implant surfaces with heterogeneous and distinct functional characteristics to either promote or inhibit local tissue adhesion. In SPINAPOR2, novel implant surface topographies, treatments and material combinations will be developed and evaluated in an in vitro testing environment to optimize the biological response of textile-based implants.
