Patent number: 10370631Abstract: An inner bag of a cell culture package is enclosed in an outer bag such that a rubber stopper is exposed to the outside. A closed space surrounded by the outer surface of the inner bag and the inner surface of the outer bag is sterile. This allows the outer surface of the inner bag, which is used for containing cell-containing deformable materials, to be maintained in a sterile condition. Since the cell culture package can be sterilized before a cell-containing deformable material is placed therein, the sterilization conditions can be relatively easily determined without considering the influence on the cell-containing deformable material. In addition, a holder allows liquid to pass through the bottom surface and side surface of a recess and the bottom surface and the side surface of a cover.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2014Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: JAPAN TISSUE ENGINEERING CO., LTD.Inventor: Makoto Sugiura

Patent number: 10232363Abstract: A safety cabinet has a second operation chamber in a first operation chamber and into which clean air is supplied, a second suction opening for sucking in air in the second operation chamber and a portion of the air in the first operation chamber, and a second operation opening part that is provided facing a first operation opening part and communicates the second operation chamber with the first operation chamber. Airflow containment (air barrier) is doubled with respect to the outside of a safety cabinet. In cases where decontamination and disinfection operations are carried out according to the changeover procedures, intensive decontamination and disinfection of the second operation chamber is sufficient, and decontamination and disinfection of the first operation chamber is hardly required. Decontamination and disinfection operations in the changeover procedures and the like can be carried out in a greatly reduced time.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2015Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignees: AIRTECK JAPAN, LTD., JAPAN TISSUE ENGINEERING CO., LTD.Inventors: Hiroshi Goto, Yosuke Otsuka, Shinya Hirasawa, Ken-ichiro Hata, Yukio Mori, Makoto Sugiura

Patent number: 10072861Abstract: A work area is disposed in a conveyance path for cells and has an inlet and an outlet, with a downflow air curtain provided at least at the inlet and the outlet. A conveyor repeatedly performs an operation that moves a placement surface having a culture vessel thereon from the inlet side into the area, moves the placement surface from the outlet side to the outside of the area, and, subsequently, moves back the placement surface to the inlet side. The cleaning device cleans the placement surface during the period from when the conveyor in the work area moves the placement surface to the outside of the area until the conveyor moves back the placement surface to the inlet side of the area.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2014Date of Patent: September 11, 2018Assignee: JAPAN TISSUE ENGINEERING CO., LTD.Inventors: Ken-ichiro Hata, Makoto Sugiura

Patent number: 10022236Abstract: An internal joint cavity expander includes femur-side magnets, tibia-side magnets, and magnetic shield-members. Each femur-side magnet has a plate curved into an arc and fixed to a femur. Each tibia-side magnet has length smaller than the femur-side magnet length and having a plate curved into arc concentric with the femur-side magnet arc. Each tibia-side magnet is fixed to a tibia. The pole on the convex surface of each femur-side magnet is same as the pole on the concave surface corresponding tibia-side magnet. The convex surface of each femur-side magnet faces the concave surface of corresponding tibia-side magnet. Each magnetic shield-member covers the surface of corresponding femur-side magnet and tibia-side magnet facing the skin throughout range in which the femur-side magnet moves relative to the tibia-side magnet. Each magnetic shield-member prevents magnetism of corresponding magnets and from leaking outside without hindering the femur-side magnet movement relative to the tibia-side magnet.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2015Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignees: JAPAN TISSUE ENGINEERING CO., LTD.Inventor: Mitsuo Ochi

Patent number: 9624462Abstract: A cell separation container includes a collection chamber and a tissue holding chamber which are partitioned by a filter. The cell separation container includes a first air pressure adjuster configured to adjust the inflow and outflow of gas in the collection chamber and a second air pressure adjuster configured to adjust the inflow and outflow of gas in the tissue holding chamber. Thus, the inflow and outflow of the outside air and the gases in the collection chamber and the tissue holding chamber can be adjusted. In the cell separation container, switching between holding a treatment liquid in the tissue holding chamber and ejecting a treatment liquid to the collection chamber can be performed by adjusting the inflow and outflow of the outside air and the gas in the connection chamber.Type: GrantFiled: December 25, 2012Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: JAPAN TISSUE ENGINEERING CO, LTD.Inventor: Makoto Sugiura
