Device for the formation of tissue and cell structures, especially bone regeneration by distraction

Abstract

Die Vorrichtung weist eine strukturstabile Membran (4, 4', 34, 35) auf, die eine Oberfläche (15) besitzt, die insbesondere mit einem zu regenerierenden Gewebe und insbesondere vitalen Knochen (2, 22, 38, 39) zu verbinden ist. Weiter sind Mittel (9, 5, 6, 25, 36) vorgesehen, mit denen die Membran (4, 4', 24, 35) zur Bildung von Zellen, Gewebe und insbesondere zur Kallusdistraktion mit einer bestimmten Zugkraft und Geschwindigkeit bewegbar ist. Erfindungsgemäss weist die Membran (4, 4', 24, 35) an der den Zellen, dem Gewebe bzw. Knochen zugewandten Oberfläche Mittel (16) zur biologischen Verankerung und Haftung für Zellen, Gewebe bzw. Knochenzellen auf. Diese Mittel (16) zur biologischen Verankerung von Gewebezellen sind insbesondere Knochenzellen, Eiweissmoleküle und/oder Osteoblasten (17) sowie Vertiefungen (45, 46, 48) und Oberflächenspitzen (50) der Membran.

  1. 1
    An apparatus for formation of tissue and cell cultures, in particular Bone regeneration by distraction and in particular Callus, with the exchange of Nutrients at least for serum permeable and structurally stable Membrane (4, 4 ', 24, 35) having a surface (15) having that to be regenerated with cells or with a Tissue, and more particularly vital bone (2, 22, 38, 39) is connect and means (9,5,6, 25, 36) with which Membrane (4, 4 ', 24, 35) for distraction with a certain Tractive force and speed can be moved, characterized, that said membrane (4, 4 ', 24, 35) on the the cells or the tissue or bone-facing surface Means of biological anchoring and adhesion for cells has or tissue or bone cells.
  2. 9
    Membrane for the distraction of cells or tissue and in particular the callus, which for the exchange Nutrient is permeable and a surface (15), and the cells or tissue to be formed particularly regenerating bone (2, 22, 38, 39) to apply and to be moved for the distraction, characterized, that said surface (15) comprises means (16) for adhesion of biological cells, and particularly of osteoblasts (18) and / or has for vascular ingrowth.
  3. 21
    A method of forming tissue and cell cultures, in particular Tissue regeneration and in particular bone regeneration by distraction and especially callus, wherein a permeable membrane for the exchange of nutrients (4, 4 ') with the on-forming cells to be regenerated in particular Tissue or vital bone (2) and to Distraction is moved, characterized in that a the cells or tissue or bone (2) to be directed towards the surface (15) of the membrane (4,4 ') means (16) for the biological liability of osteoblasts (17,18), in that the membrane (4, 4 ') to the site of the tissue to be regenerated or vital Bone (2) is applied, and that the membrane (4,4 ') for distraction with a certain speed of the Cells or from tissue and vital bone (2) is moved away becomes.
