The connection support device includes a rod-shaped member insertable into respective hollow portions of two or more cell structures, the rod-shaped member being inserted into the hollow portions, the rod-shaped member including a circular cross section having an outer diameter capable of adhering to inner surfaces of the cell structures when the rod-shaped member contracts after maturing, and a total length longer than a sum of respective lengths of the two or more cell structures, and two presser devices including clamp portions capable of being fixed to the rod-shaped member by clamping and fitting to the rod-shaped member, the rod-shaped member being made of a material with oxygen permeability.

Cell structure connection method and connection support device

It is solved by the rod-shaped tubular cell structure maintaining support device for cultivating a tubular cell structure including a hollow portion inside for a predetermined period of time while maintaining the hollow portion, the tubular cell structure maintaining support device including an outer diameter insertable into the hollow portion of the cell structure, and when inserted into the hollow portion, capable of allowing the tubular cell structure maintaining support device to adhere to an inner surface of the cell structure, and a penetration conduit including openings at both ends of the tubular cell structure maintaining support device, and penetrating between the openings, wherein the tubular cell structure maintaining support device has an oxygen permeable structure from the penetration conduit to an outer surface of the tubular cell structure maintaining support device.
