Abstract

Novel flexible polyurethanes possessing enzyme sensitivity to collagenase and plasmin were developed. These polymers could be processed into porous scaffolds that retained reasonable strength and flexibility and that supported stem and primary cell adhesion and growth. Individually, or as blends, these biodegradable elastomers might find application in a variety of soft tissue applications.
