Characterization, mechanical behavior and in vitro evaluation of a melt-drawn scaffold for esophageal tissue engineering

- The esophageal scaffold was fabricated by a portable table top melt-drawing device.
- Poly(l-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) is ideal for melt-drawing of esophageal scaffold.
- Highly aligned microfibers with uniform fiber diameters was obtained.
- The melt-drawn fibers has good tensile properties.
