摘要

The new device contains a vein chamber (4) in which a vein fragment (5) is clamped centrally with a slight axial prestress. …For the storage and transport of the vein fragment (5), the central area of the vein chamber (4), and thus the vein fragment (5) on the inside, can be filled with physiological saline via flow channels (21, 22). A drying-out of the vein fragment (5) is prevented by filling the peripheral area of the vein chamber (4) with a similar solution via flow paths (25, 26). …If, using hypodermic syringes (14, 16), the saline in the inside of the vein fragment (5) is replaced by an enzyme solution, a high percentage of the endothelial cells adhering to the inner wall of the vein fragment (5) can be obtained, without other cell types, such as fibroblasts or smooth muscle cells, being detached simultaneously from the wall of the vein fragment (5) and "contaminating" the endothelial cells whose proliferation is desired for coating alloplastic prostheses. ……
