Bacterial cellulose has garnered remarkable interest from researchers, particularly those working in the biomedical field. In this work, BC microfibers were fabricated via green dissolution (ZnCl2) and regeneration (ethanol). The orientation of cellulose chains was investigated during extrusion and simple post-processing via polarized optical microscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering. The results implied that the mechanical properties of BC microfibers can be tuned by rational pre-stretching. The BC microfibers can be programmable, and be used to suture hard or soft tissues. The as-designed paralleled BC microfibers have good biocompatibility and can regulate the directional growth of cells on their surface. The as-obtained BC microfiber with a high tensile strength of up to ∼115 MPa is suitable for surgical sutures. The tunable BC microfibers may be utilized as an adequate fiber-derived biomedical material product.
