  • Patent number: 8697430
    Abstract: Disclosed is a tissue-derived biomaterial carrier device (1) comprising a carrier case 810), an arm (125) provided upright on an interior bottom wall surface of the carrier case (10), a mounting part (121), a swing mechanism (122), a temperature control box (20) provided detachably on an exterior wall surface of the carrier case (10), and a heater (201) provided in the temperature control box (20). The mounting part (121) receives the mounting of a housing vessel in which a tissue-derived biomaterial is housed (an opening part (121a)). The swing mechanism (122) swingably supports the mounting part (121) relative to the arm (125). With the temperature control box (20) mounted on the carrier case (10), the heater (201) in the temperature control box (20) receives the supply of electric power from a battery (203) and regulates the temperature within the carrier case (10).
