5. A composite scaffold comprising:
a microporous matrix comprising a first material and defining a multitude of interconnected pores opening to an exterior surface of the microporous matrix and collectively defining void space having a measurable void space volume; and
a structure supporting the microporous matrix comprising first and second outer layers separated by an interior space, and a plurality of spacer yarns extending through the interior space and connecting the first and second outer layers, the plurality of spacer yarns comprising a second material different from the first material;
wherein the microporous matrix is disposed within the interior space, and
wherein the measurable void space volume of the microporous matrix is between approximately 75% and 98% of a measurable volume of the composite scaffold.
