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 26):
An implantable biopolymer scaffold of  claim 6 , wherein the biopolymer scaffold has one or more of the following characteristics:\n (i) an average porosity of about 80 to 120 microns as determined by mercury porosimetry; (ii) an absorbance of about its weight in blood in about 5 min and an absorbance of about twice its weight in blood in about 20 minutes when measured in vitro; (iii) an average fiber diameter in the range of about 300-3,000 nm; (iv) in vivo cell infiltration within about two weeks following implantation into about the full thickness of the implanted scaffold; and (v) average configuration of the pores is substantially in the shape of a slit relative to other configurations including elliptical or random pore configurations.
