In Figure 1, the SEM image of a top view of Phasix™ at × 20 magnification depicted in 1a was re-used by the authors from their previously published article [1]. The authors now attributed this to the corrected legend and the legend of Fig. 1 should be read as below.

Fig. 1

Scanning electron micrographs: a top view of Phasix™ at × 20 magnification (scale bar 200 µm), b side view of Phasix™ at × 40 magnification (scale bar 100 µm), c top view of Bio-A® at × 20 magnification (scale bar 200 µm), d side view of Bio-A® at × 40 magnification (scale bar 100 µm). ‘a’ is re-used from Figure 1c of Scott, J.R., Deeken, C.R., Martindale, R.G., et al.
