Devices and methods for preparing and conditioning biological assemblies for minimally invasive delivery for tissue engineering, cell therapies and other therapeutic applications

Abstract

The sterile container, preferably in form of a syringe, has an oxygen and/or carbon dioxide permeability of at least 0.1 mL/Pa/m2/day and is provided with at least one fluidic port permitting sterile connection to other containers and/or tubes, containing a porous, biocompatible polymer-based biomaterial with at least 30% porosity, preferentially at least 50% porosity, and most preferentially at least 80% porosity. This has the advantage of enabling intraoperative conditioning, circumventing the need for cell culture facilities, while still achieving targeted conditioning.
