Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007009036A2] The invention provides automated apparatus and methods for manufacturing implantable tissue grafts in an operating room setting, preferably utilizing autologous adipose tissue cells for preparing vascular grafts. The automated apparatus includes media and tissue dissociating chemical reservoirs, filters, a cell separator and a perfusion flow loop through a biochamber which supports a graft substrate. The present invention further provides methods for using the tissue grafts and cell samples prepared by the devices described herein in a multitude of therapies including revascularization, regeneration and reconstruction of tissues and organs, as well as treatment and prevention of diseases. The invention also provides methods biochamber configurations for applying a sustained low pressure gradient across a permeable scaffold material using a media containing cells to be deposited on the scaffold for the production of tissue grafts, including, but not limited to, vascular grafts.
