Figure 3

Characteristics of the embroidered scaffold designed for calvarium reconstruction. (a) Photograph and (b) three-dimensional μCT reconstruction of the embroidered scaffold showing an open porosity of 87%. ((c) and (d)) The analysis of the pore size distribution (Scanco vivaCT 75 system) showed homogeneously interconnected pores ranging between 0.06 and 0.7 mm distributed over the whole stack.
