Provided herein are a membrane-type artificial scaffold for guided bone regeneration (GBR) and a method for fabricating the same. The membrane-type artificial scaffold according to the present invention comprises: a first layer made of at least one fiber layer arranged in parallel with each other with a first spacing therebetween such that the fiber layer contacts a bone tissue in vivo; and a second layer stacked on the first layer and made of at least one fiber layer arranged parallel to each other with a second spacing therebetween such that the fiber layer contacts a soft tissue in vivo. The first spacing is larger than the second spacing.

Membrane-type artificial scaffold and method for fabricating same

A scaffold having a reinforced tissue regeneration ability and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The scaffold is formed in a lattice form by alternately stacking biodegradable synthetic polymer-hydrogel layers. In this case, the biodegradable synthetic polymer-hydrogel layer is formed by disposing a plurality of biodegradable synthetic polymer-hydrogel units including a biodegradable synthetic polymer and a hydrogel at a predetermined gap.
