摘要：
The present invention provides a synthetic implantable scaffold comprising a plurality of polymer fibres in contact with a composition comprising a hydrogel-forming polymer and a biocompatible ceramic material. Preferably the polymer fibres are formed from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and are in the form of a bundle of fibres. Preferably the implantable scaffold comprises a plurality of bundles of individual polymer fibres, which may be in the form of a braid. The hydrogel-forming polymer is preferably polyvinyl alcohol for mimicking the fibre-ECM hierarchical structure of native tendons or ligaments. The biocompatible ceramic material is preferably Hardystonite (Ca
