Three-dimensional wet-spun microfibrous meshes of a star poly(ε-caprolactone) were developed as potential scaffolds endowed with antimicrobial activity. The in vitro release kinetics of the meshes, under physiological conditions, was initially fast and then a sustained release for more than one month was observed. Cell cultures of a murine pre-osteoblast cell line showed good cell viability and adhesion on the wet-spun star poly(ε-caprolactone) fiber scaffolds. These promising results indicate a potential application of the developed meshes as engineered bone scaffolds with antimicrobial activity
