ABSTRACT:
A device and method for tissue engineering is disclosed. More particularly this invention relates to a bioabsorbable device and a method of its use which promotes controlled new tissue in-growth into voids or cavities occupied by the device as portions of the device are selectively absorbed within a host thereby minimizing collapse of surrounding, pre-existing host tissue into the engineered site.
