Patent number: 9932551Abstract: A tissue engineered model (TEM) structure, an apparatus and method for making a TEM structure, and methods of using a TEM structure are disclosed. In an embodiment, the TEM structure includes at least one TEM segment. Each TEM segment includes a frame defining a bounded area, the frame having a height, a first edge, and a second edge opposite the first edge, each of the first edge and the second edge defining a perimeter of the bounded area, and the height defining a distance between the first edge and the second edge; a membrane affixed to the first edge about a perimeter of the frame; and a solidified gel and cell matrix disposed within the bounded area within the frame, wherein the solidified gel and cell matrix substantially fills a volume defined by the bounded area and the height of the frame.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2017Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: CPSI Holdings LLCInventors: John G. Baust, Joshua T. Smith, Kimberly L. Santucci, Kristi K. Snyder, Anthony T. Robilotto, Robert G. Van Buskirk, John M. Baust, William L. Corwin, Jennie F. McKain
