PERKASIE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--“Getting to the Holy Grail: Intelligent Design for Small Bore Vascular Scaffolds” will be presented by Peter D. Gabriele, Director of Emerging Technology, Secant Medical, Inc., at the MedTech Cardio Conference in Minneapolis, MN, October 30 at 4:00 pm. Gabriele will discuss the anatomical constraints in scaffold design, role of biomaterials in biomedical engineering, and biomedical textile architectural design of small bore vessels. He will explore why nature chose certain materials as its building blocks for the body’s organs and how bio-inspired scaffold material selection directs the development of tissue-engineered vascular scaffolds.
