Patent ID: 8771582

Claim:
An electrospinning perfusion method for forming a fabricated textile suitable for use as a medical article, said method comprising the steps of: dissolving a non-biodegradable polymer and a pre-chosen biologically-active agent in an organic solvent to provide an admixture, the dissolving step occurring at an ice-cold temperature; permitting the admixture to warm to a temperature between about 20° C. and about 50° C.; loading the admixture into an electrospinning perfusion assembly comprised of at least one perfusion instrument which can be set at a specified flow rate; perfusing said admixture onto a target surface at the specified flow rate, the step of perfusing occurring at a temperature between about 20° C. and about 50° C. to provide a perfused material; removing the perfused material from the target surface to form a nanofibrous fabricated textile.
