ABSTRACT:
A carrier and method of manufacturing and using the same is provided for receiving supporting replenished tissue growing into a diseased or damaged area within a physiological system. The carrier can be implanted in the interface region between tissue having different mechanical properties to support the growth and regeneration of differing types of tissue within the region. The carrier includes bioerodible polymeric material having differing mechanical properties such as porosity, stiffness and compressibility.
