ABSTRACT:
A porous mesh structure is prepared in sheet form having a unique arrangement of main and secondary troughs on a first surface, and openings extending therethrough. The arrangement of troughs and openings creates an elaborate matrix of pores when the sheet is layer on itself in a front to back manner. This arrangement of pores and support structure emulates certain cortical bone structures and is therefore very effective as an artificial bone material. In addition, the porous structure has significant other potential uses outside the medical field and can be effectively applied accordingly, based on its fundamental structural attributes.
