Abstract:
Compositions and blends of biopolymers and bio-acceptable polymers are described, along with the use of benign solvent systems to prepare biocompatible scaffolds and surgically implantable devices for use in supporting and facilitating the repair of soft tissue injuries.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for producing an implantable biopolymer scaffold comprising the steps of:\n dissolving a biopolymer, and optionally a bio-acceptable polymer, in a DMSO solvent system comprising about 40 to 100% by volume of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and about 0 to 60% by volume of a solvent selected from the group consisting of ethanol, tetrahydrofuran and acetic acid to form a biopolymer solution; generating biopolymer fibers from the biopolymer solution; and collecting the biopolymer fibers to form a biopolymer scaffold.
