摘要:
This invention is directed to prosthesis, which, when implanted into amammalian patient, serves as a functioning replacement for a body part, ortissue structure, and will undergo controlled biodegradation occurringconcomitantly with bioremodeling by the patient's living cells. The prosthesisis treated so that it is rendered non-antigenic so as not to elicit asignificant humoral immune response. The prosthesis of this invention, in itsvarious embodiments, thus has dual properties. First, it functions as asubstitute body part, and second, it functions as bioremodeling template forthe ingrowth of host cells.
