ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to bioreactors having an enclosed chamber, a sheet growth module, a rollable mandrel, and a clamp for holding the sheet to the mandrel for rolling for the manufacture of a tissue engineered blood vessel (TEBV). The TEBV is made from a cultured fibroblast sheet rolled into a multilayer vessel which has sufficient burst strength to withstand physiological blood pressure without the inclusion of smooth muscle cells or synthetic scaffolding.
