ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to an instrument for regenerating a living organism tissue or organ, characterized in that a support (A) formed from a biodegradable material or a bioabsorbable material includes a sponge-like fine matrix (B) formed from a biodegradable material or a bioabsorbable material and a linear guide channel (C) for a living organism tissue or organ.
