Patent number: 8293046Abstract: A process for producing a porous body with different physical properties in desired regions is provided by pore forming treatment, not by bonding two or more materials made porous beforehand, with, for example, an adhesive. Raw materials are prepared, each of which contains a polymer and a raw material preparation solvent. At least two types of the raw materials having different compositions are prepared. Thereafter, the respective raw materials are frozen into desired shapes to form frozen bodies thereof. The frozen bodies thus formed are brought into contact with each other to form an assembly thereof, the assembly is exposed to a condition under which the frozen bodies begin to melt, and the assembly is then freeze-dried. Thus, a porous body having regions different in physical properties can be obtained. Such a porous body can be used as, for example, an adhesion inhibitory material or a scaffold for a cell culture.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2008Date of Patent: October 23, 2012Assignee: JMS Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toshinobu Sajiki, Satoshi Hirai

Publication number: 20120220943Abstract: An inner hub (9) with a needle attached to a tip thereof is housed in a cylindrical body (2). The inner hub (9) includes a through-hole (22) penetrating the inner hub (9) in a radial direction of the inner hub (9), and a recessed portion (23a) formed in an outer circumferential surface (23) of the inner hub (9). An opening of the through-hole (22) and the recessed portion (23a) are connected together in a circumferential direction of the inner hub (9). A liquid flowing out from the opening of the through-hole (22) is limited so that the liquid flows along the recessed portion (23a), and the flow of the liquid moving in the circumferential direction of the inner hub (9) is promoted. As a result, the removal of air bubbles in the circumferential direction of the inner hub (9) is promoted, whereby air bubbles can be prevented from remaining on the outer circumferential surface (23) of the inner hub (9).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2010Publication date: August 30, 2012Applicant: JMS CO., LTD.Inventors: Toru Ito, Mamoru Kohno, Ryoji Fujii
