Device for three-dimensional cell culture, useful e.g. for producing tissue for transplantation, comprises flat, flexible pouch filled with porous textile material

摘要

A cell culture device or bioreactor, for three-dimensional expansion of cells in vitro, is new and comprises a flat, flexible pouch, of variable volume, defining a space (1) in which cells are confined and cultured in liquid medium. (1) contains a synthetic, biocompatible porous textile (2) and is provided with two opposite conduits (3) to provide direct access.
