Biomaterials research is very relevant to developing nations, especially due to the high injury-related burden of disease and defects due to insufficient pre-natal care amongst the poor and disadvantaged. This research focuses on producing a locally-manufactured resorbable biopolymeric particle system for use in soft tissue augmentation. This research has resulted in a patent application that has received a positive international preliminary report on patentability that will facilitate the eventual commercialisation of this unique product.enPolycaprolactoneMicroporousHemi-shellsTissue augmentationConference PresentationNaidoo, K., Rolfes, H., Easton, K., Moolman, F., Chetty, A., Richter, P., ...
