Patent ID: 8187326

Claim:
A tissue scaffold implant device, comprising: a non-woven textile tissue scaffold component having a top surface and a bottom surface, the tissue scaffold component comprising a soluble polymer, a tissue scaffold support, having a top surface and a fixation post integral therewith and extending opposite from said top surface, the tissue scaffold support comprising a soluble thermoplastic polymer, and an adhesive layer between said scaffold component and said top surface of said tissue scaffold support, said adhesive layer comprising a soluble polymer having a top surface and a bottom surface, the bottom surface of the scaffold component is fixedly attached to the top surface of the adhesive layer and the bottom surface of the adhesive layer is fixedly attached to the top surface of the scaffold support, and said soluble polymer of the tissue scaffold component is selected from the group consisting of polyalkylene oxalates, polyamides, polycarbonates, polyorthoesters, polyoxaesters, polyamidoesters, polyanhydrides and polyphosphazenes, and aliphatic polyesters selected from the group consisting of glycolide, ε-caprolactone, p-dioxanone (1,4-dioxan-2-one), trimethylene carbonate (1,3-dioxan-2-one), δ-valerolactone, β-butyrolactone, ε-decalactone, 2,5-diketomorpholine, pivalolactone, α,α-diethylpropiolactone, ethylene carbonate, ethylene oxalate, 3-methyl-1,4-dioxane-2,5-dione, 3,3-diethyl-1,4-dioxan-2,5-dione, γ-butyrolactone, 1,4-dioxepan-2-one, 1,5-dioxepan-2-one, 6,6-dimethyl-dioxepan-2-one and 6,8-dioxabicycloctane-7-one.
