Table 2.

Electrospun templates were evaluated by a veterinary pathologist in a blinded fashion at 1 day after implantation in a subcutaneous rat implant model.

Score	Presence of surface DNA	Invasion into the template	Degree of neutrophil degeneration
1	DNA adherent to some surfaces of the template	Slight invasion into the template near a fold or defect in the template	Most invading neutrophils non-degenerative
2	DNA adherent to most surfaces of the template	Slight invasion into the template	Many invading neutrophils non-degenerative
3	Dense DNA layer adherent to some surfaces of the template	Moderate invasion with reduced invasion toward the center of the template	Occasional invading neutrophils non-degenerative
4	Dense DNA layer adherent to most surfaces of the template	Moderate invasion throughout the thickness of the membrane	Few non-degenerating neutrophils not deeply invaded
5	Conspicuous, dense DNA layer adherent to the surfaces of the template	Dense invasion throughout the thickness of the membrane	Diffuse degenerating neutrophils near the surface of defect in the template.
