Not all tissue is structured the same. In the brain, heart, blood vessels, and other parts of the body, fiber orientation helps shape how cells grow and organize. In this episode of MedTech Unboxed, Steve talks with Lars Markwort of Bioinicia Fluidnatek about how electrospinning can recreate these structures at the nanoscale, closely resembling natural environments. Lars explains why some tissues have randomly arranged fibers while others are highly aligned, and how recreating those differences can influence the way cells attach, grow, and organize. He walks through applications ranging from nerve guides and vascular devices to stent coatings and tissue scaffolds, including structures designed to gradually resorb as natural tissue develops. This conversation also looks at what happens when electrospinning moves from R&D into medical device production, where repeatability, thickness control, uniformity, process data, and traceability become critical. Learn more about how nanofiber structures can be engineered around the biology of the body, then manufactured with the control medical device production demands.
