Method and apparatus for preparing a synthetic graft, e.g. a vascular graft, for implantation by lining it with endothelial cells, in which a cell suspension in culture medium is in contact with the graft and the cells incubated whilst maintaining a small shear stress at the medium/graft boundary whereby to cause the cells to become confluent and flatten thus enhancing their attachment to the graft surface. The graft can be placed in a cylindrical chamber rotated to effect the shear force. |
