Polyurethane (PU) scaffolds are synthetic materials that serve as biocompatible scaffolds for small-diameter, low-flow blood vessels. They feature alternating hard and soft segments, combining flexibility with tensile strength. Compared to other synthetic materials, PU scaffolds reduce vascular hyperplasia and promote endothelialization, making them highly valued in tissue regeneration. Currently, PU scaffolds have been applied to the engineering of bone, blood vessels, myocardium, heart valves, skin, and cartilage.
