The present invention concerns a spinal fluid driven artificial organ device and methods for its use. The device (10) has a tripartite chamber with three sections. A micropore filter (B) separates chamber section (1) from chamber section (2) and a micropore filter (c) separates chamber section (2) from chamber section (3). CSF enters chamber section (1) via an inlet tube (T1) and an one way valve (V1). Micropore filter (B) allows entry of CSF into chamber section (2) but does not allow exit of any cells from chamber section (2) into chamber section (1). Micropore filter (c) allows free passage of CSF from chamber section (2) into chamber section (3) and prevents any cells in chamber section (2) from entering chamber section (3). The CSF flow exits chamber section (3) via an one way valve (V2) an an outlet tube (T2). The outlet tube (T2) delivers the CSF to the desired location. |
