Abstract
The invention relates to a bioartificial primarily vascularized tissue matrix, a bioartificial primarily vascularized tissue, a method for the production thereof and the use of the same. Said tissue matrix and bioartificial primarily vascularized tissue are obtained by preparing the necessary natural tissue, conserving at least one vessel.
Claims12
A method of producing a bioartificial primarily vascularized autologous, allogenic or xenogenic tissue matrix, the method comprising the steps:
- extracting tissue from one of a human body and an animal body, wherein the extracted tissue includes at least one functioning vessel branch connected as part of the extracted tissue, wherein the at least one vessel branch includes a supplying artery and a discharging vein, and
- acellularizing at least a portion of the extracted tissue, resulting in the tissue matrix comprising a matrix of the at least one vessel branch,
- wherein the at least one vessel branch enables the provision of at least one of nutrients, minerals, and oxygen.
