Percutaneous access device system facilitating cell growth thereon
A process to facilitate growing of cells on a nanotextured percutaneous portal is provided that includes the placement of a nanotextured percutaneous portal partially within a subject. A vacuum manifold is secured to the nanotextured percutaneous portal. Upon coupling the vacuum manifold to a vacuum source, the growth of the cells is facilitated.
1. A process to facilitate growing of cells on a nanotextured percutaneous portal comprising: placing the nanotextured percutaneous portal partially within a subject; securing a vacuum manifold to the nanotextured percutaneous portal; and coupling said vacuum manifold to a vacuum source to facilitate the growing of the cells.
2. The process of claim 1 wherein said vacuum source is one of mechanical pump, aspirator, peristaltic pump, or a pneumatic system.
3. The process of claim 1 further comprising coating the nanotextured percutaneous portal with an autologous cell growth promoter coating.
4. The process of claim 3 wherein said coating is a tissue scaffolding matrix.
5. The process of claim 4 wherein said tissue scaffolding matrix comprises autologous fibroblasts.
6. The process of claim 3 wherein said coating is porous.
7. The process of claim 6 wherein said porous coating has an average pore size of between 30 and 500 microns.
