Self-Regulating Platform for Drug-Eluting Medical Meshes
TS-074223 — Researchers at The Ohio State University have developed a self‑regulating manufacturing platform for porous polymer meshes that integrates mesh formation and drug loading in a single step, enabling controlled local delivery from implantable materials.
Technology Overview
Implantable meshes and porous polymer films are widely used in surgical, regenerative, and device‑based applications, but current products often separate structural support from drug delivery functions. This platform uses a reaction‑diffusion‑driven process to form poro…
