Abstract

Fenestrated wound repair scaffolds and methods for forming scaffolds involve dispersing human collagen having a preserved amount of native constituents in solution, depositing the human collagen dispersion in a tray, forming openings in the collagen dispersion and removing the liquid component to form a fenestrated wound repair scaffold. Fenestrated wound repair scaffolds include a network of openings passing linearly through the wound repair scaffold to form channels for cells to pass into so as to form a series of cell formations therein.
