  Abstract

Polylactic acid (PLA) and polyglycolic acid (PGA) have been widely used in the acupoint catgut embedding therapy (ACET) field. However, some defects such as hydrophobicity, poor swelling and cell adhesion properties which significantly limit their further applications. Herein, we report a strategy for developing ACET materials via 3D fabrication and plasma treatment. The results showed that modified samples showed rougher surface morphology and better hydrophilicity. Sample L4G0 (PLA strands: PGA strands=4:0) showed the largest tensile strength and elongation values at 32.15
