摘要:
A biodegradable scaffold for wound closure including a central rod and two spaced plates. The central rod may have an engagement block on top for stabilizing a implanting tool. The two spaced plates include an upper plate connected to the central rod and a lower plate connected to the central rod. Each of the upper and lower plates may include perforations which may be useful for detachably connecting an implanting tool and which encourage growth of the tissue. The biodegradable scaffold allows tension free anatomical alignment of tissue within the plates and facilitate wound healing. The upper and lower plate may have a helical, in which each plate may extend around the central rod greater than 360 degrees. The helical shape creates a camber feature that serves to draw or pull tissue around the wound defect into the scaffold during the course when deploying the scaffold.
