More Information
Summary:An oxygen-releasing biomaterial, articles and methods, and more particularly an oxygen-releasing biomaterial with sustained oxygen-releasing properties of four to five weeks, which is suitable for tissue engineering scaffolds, is disclosed. The biomaterial contains a hydrogel with a plurality of microparticles suspended in the hydrogel. The microparticles contain an oxygen carrier that is encapsulated in a biocompatible hydrophobic material, where the release of oxygen from the oxygen carrier is sustained over a four to five week period. The biomaterial has application in tissue engineering, osteogenesis, burn and wound treatment, and treatment of cardiac conditions, and has further antimicrobial properties.
