CELL ENCAPSULATION DEVICE

An implantable device for encapsulating cells includes one or more cell encapsulation layers. Each of the cell encapsulation layers includes a first membrane that is semipermeable, a second membrane that is semipermeable, and a first plurality of weld lines. The second membrane is attached to the fi...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An implantable device for encapsulating cells includes one or more cell encapsulation layers. Each of the cell encapsulation layers includes a first membrane that is semipermeable, a second membrane that is semipermeable, and a first plurality of weld lines. The second membrane is attached to the first membrane by the first plurality of weld lines. The first membrane, the second membrane, and the first plurality of weld lines define at least one cell channel for encapsulating cells. The cell encapsulation device is configurable between a collapsed configuration and an inflated configuration.
