Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a scaffold for tissue regeneration and methods for fabricating the scaffold. The scaffold includes a three-dimensional structure composed by alternating layers of various materials including a first medium, a second medium and a third medium. The first medium includes bone particles each having a size of 1 nm to 100 mm with or without organic components. The second medium is a natural or synthetic biocompatible and/or biodegradable polymer. The third medium is a material dissolved in a solvent different than the solvent of the polymer and includes solid particulates alone or in polymeric structures that dissolve when immersed in liquid or gaseous solvent environments or based on temperature differentials. The various materials are arranged according to the shape and the size of a bone gap being generated. The three-dimensional structure has a tunable porosity with interconnected channels and pores along with adjustable dimensions.

Claim (Index 7):
The scaffold of  claim 1 , wherein the third medium is a single rapidly dissolving polymer or a mixture of rapidly dissolving polymers in a solvent that does not immediately interact with the first medium and the second medium.
