Abstract
A medical implant is provided defined as an electrospun hollow-cored porous suture ring. The suture ring is a continuous ring made by rolling up circular sheet of electrospun material, which was electrospun over a cylindrical target. The suture ring, upon implantation, is capable of being absorbed and replaced by natural tissue due to ingrowth of cells and nutrients into pores of the electrospun hollow-cored biodegradable suture ring. The suture ring addresses at least some of the existing problems with suture or sewing rings.
