| Abstract: | The article is devoted to the study of the structure, physico-mechanical properties and biocompatibility of modified conduits based on bacterial cellulose (BC) to replace injured blood vessels. It has been shown that both samples have almost the same elastic recoil and are superior to synthetic vascular grafts in terms of the parameters studied. It should be noted that the first modified sample is characterized by greater elasticity and lower tensile strength compared to the second sample; however, the physico-mechanical properties of the obtained conduits are in the range corresponding to native blood vessels. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) demonstrated that the conduits under study had a fibrillar structure with nanosized pores that enabled the adhesion of endothelial cells on the internal surface of the vascular implant, improved elasticity under transverse pressure, and raised the elasticity modulus when stretching along the fibrils. Thermogravimetry revealed that elastic recoil formation depended on the nature of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) interaction with the nanofibrillar structure of BC rather than on the content of polyvinyl alcohol used for modification. The MTT test results confirmed no cytotoxicity and high oxygen permeability in the studied samples, opening great opportunities for their application in regenerative biomedicine to replace injured blood vessels.
