CONNECTIVE TISSUE FORMING BASE MATERIAL, AND MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR CONNECTIVE TISSUE USING IT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a connective tissue forming base material for forming a connective tissue which is utilized as an artificial organ when being embedded in a living body, and which can smooth the internal surface while increasing the mechanical strength or the like of the connective tissue.

SOLUTION: A profile member 2 is spirally formed along the outer periphery of a rodlike structural member 1. By embedding the rodlike structural member 1 in the living body, the connective tissue 4 is formed on the external edge of the rodlike structural member 1. The connective tissue 4 enters a gap between the profile member 2 and the surface of the rodlike structural member 1. The internal surface shape of the connective tissue 4 is formed into a smooth surface being the same as the surface of the rodlike structural member 1. The connective tissue 4 is formed to have a thickness for embedding the profile member 2.
