CASE FOR THE PROTECTION AND THE TRANSPORTATION OF EPIDERMIS OR SKIN GRAFTS CULTIVATED IN VITRO FROM A SKIN GRAFT CUT FROM A DONOR

摘要

A case for the protection and the transportation of epidermis or skin grafts including a lid (1) and a tray (2) able to be superimposed and fitted on each other so as to define a closed, essentially flat space (V) able to contain the epidermis or skin graft immersed in a preservation liquid under stretched conditions. Both said lid (1) and said tray (2) are provided with a peripheral flange (F) which is able to be heat sealed. Space (V) is small enough to avoid the wrinkling of the skin graft contained therein, even if the case is inclined. The case is made of a transparent material which is impermeable to liquids and gases such as PET or other material which is chemically and biologically inert both at the temperature of use and the heat sealing temperature.
