USE OF A SCAFFOLD CONTAINING HYALURONIC ACID DERIVATIVES AND CELLS GROWN THEREON, AS A GRAFT FOR IMPLANTATION IN ARTHROSCOPIC SURGERY

摘要

The invention relates to the use of a three-dimensional scaffold containing hyaluronic acid derivatives and cells grown thereon for the preparation of grafts to be implanted by arthroscopic surgical techniques, as well as a kit of surgical instruments for implementing said use. The invention allows the cells grown on said scaffold to be implanted at a cartilage lesion site, while surprisingly maintaining a very high cell viability and avoiding any risk of contamination.
