PATENT CLAIMS Claim 1
Apparatus for growth of tissue for implantation in human or animal body, comprising
- A substrate designed to facilitate three-dimensional tissue
growth on said substrate, said substrate comprising a bio
compatible non-living three-dimensional framework having
interstitial spaces bridgeable by cells
- A housing defining a tissue growth chamber
- A support structure located within said chamber configured
& dimensioned to support said substrate
- Means for simulating the physiological conditions to be
encountered by the tissue once implanted, said simulating
means comprising means for controlling media flow charac
teristics around said substrate mounted on said support
structure within said housing
Claim 29
A method for seeding & culturing a substrate, comprising
- Exposing plural sides of a substrate to a flowing fluid media
for seeding & culturing, said substrate designed to facilitate
three-dimensional tissue growth on said substrate, said
substrate comprising a three-dimensional framework having
interstitial spaces bridgeable by cells
- Imparting an axial stress to the substrate during said
seeding & culturing to encourage a desired alignment of
cells on the substrate
