환자에게, 예컨대 조직 층에 삽입하기 위해 복수의 세포를 수용 및 보유하기 위한 이식 가능한 격납 장치가 개시되어 있다. 디바이스는, 챔버의 제1의 내부 표면과 제2의 내부 표면 사이의 평균 거리를 유지하기 위해, 그리고 챔버 내에의 세포의 배치를 위한 하나 이상의 저장소 공간을 획정하기 위해, 그 안에 구조적 스페이서를 갖는 챔버를 포함한다. An implantable containment apparatus for receiving and retaining a plurality of cells for insertion into a patient, such as into a tissue bed, is disclosed. The device includes a chamber having structural spacers therein to maintain an average distance between the first interior surface and the second interior surface of the chamber and to define at least one reservoir space for the placement of cells within the chamber.
