Staple cartridge assemblies for use with surgical stapling instruments and methods for manufacturing the same are provided. Scaffolds for use with a surgical staple cartridge and methods for manufacturing the same are also provided. 1. A staple cartridge assembly for use with a surgical stapling instrument , comprising:a staple cartridge having a plurality of staples and a cartridge deck; and a first knitted zone that is configured to promote tissue ingrowth, wherein the first knitted zone includes first fibers made of a first bioabsorbable polymer and second fibers made of a second bioabsorbable polymer, wherein each first fiber has a fiber diameter that is less than a fiber diameter of each second fiber;', 'a second knitted zone that is configured to be conformable so as to attach to the cartridge deck and includes the first and second fibers of the first knitted zone; and', 'a spacer zone formed of the second fibers, wherein the spacer zone is disposed between the first and second knitted zones and is configured to support the first and second knitted zones, wherein the second fibers are non-fixedly and slidably interconnected to the first fibers of the first and second knitted zones,', 'wherein openings are present in the first and second knitted zones and voids are present in the spacer zone, with the voids being larger than the openings., 'a knitted elastically deformable, bioabsorbable scaffold attached to the cartridge deck and formed of at least three distinct zones, each having a different functionality, wherein the staples are deployable through the scaffold into tissue captured against the scaffold, and wherein the scaffold comprises2. The staple cartridge assembly of claim 1 , wherein the fiber diameters of the first fibers are from about ⅕ to 1/20 of the fiber diameters of the second fibers.3. The staple cartridge assembly of claim 1 , wherein the fiber diameters of the first fibers are about 1/10 of the fiber diameters of the second fibers.4. The ...
