Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system for producing a tissue-engineered material includes a hollow member and a mechanical stimulating unit. The hollow member is adapted to be implanted in a peritoneal cavity, and is to be positioned in the peritoneal cavity in a manner that a part of the hollow member contacts an inner wall surface of the peritoneal cavity for enabling formation of a biological tissue that encapsulates the hollow member. The mechanical stimulation unit is coupled to the hollow member and configured to provide a periodic mechanical stimulus to the biological tissue by periodically causing the hollow member to expand and contract. A method for producing the aforesaid tissue-engineered material is also disclosed.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for producing a tissue-engineered material in a peritoneal cavity of a living subject, said method comprising the following steps of: (a) implanting a hollow member in the peritoneal cavity, wherein the hollow member is made of a biocompatible and fluid-impermeable material that is expansible and contractible and is positioned in the peritoneal cavity in a manner that a part of the hollow member contacts an inner wall surface of the peritoneal cavi…
