PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a biocompatible tissue repair implant or a support scaffold device to be used for repairing various kinds of tissue injuries particularly including injuries to the cartilage, ligament, tendon, and nerve. SOLUTION: The above repair treatment is performed by various implants each including a specific biological component for supporting healing or repair of a specific tissue. Each biocompatible tissue repair implant includes a specific biocompatible support scaffold material and particles of a living tissue to associate the tissue and the support scaffold. Further, each particle of the living tissue contains one or more kinds of viable cells which can migrate from the relevant tissue to populate in the support scaffold material.
