PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a holding member for film-like tissue and a preservation transport vessel using the holding member, capable of preventing a film-like tissue from being damaged due to vibrations applied to the vessel during transport of the film-like tissue and also effectively preventing the film-like tissue from being damaged when the film-like tissue is later removed from within the vessel.SOLUTION: A holding member for film-like tissue according to the present invention is a tabular holding member 1 which is fixedly arranged within a vessel 50 for accommodating a film-like tissue 100 and holds the film-like tissue 100 within the vessel with a preservation liquid kept therein. The holding member 1, when so positioned as to be arranged within the vessel 50, provides a tissue placement space 4 recessed from peripheries toward a bottom part 51b side of the vessel 50, on at least a part of a surface 3 opposite to a back surface 2 facing the bottom part 51b side of the vessel 50, and also provides a plurality of liquid passing-through holes 5 penetrating in a thickness direction.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】膜状組織の輸送に際する、容器への振動の入力が招く膜状組織の破損を防止しつつ、その後の、容器内部からの膜状組織の取出しに際する膜状組織の破損をも有効に防止することのできる膜状組織の保持部材および、それを用いる保存輸送容器を提供する。【解決手段】本発明の膜状組織の保持部材は、膜状組織100を収容する容器50の内部に固定配置されて、保存液を入れた該容器内部で、前記膜状組織100を保持するための板状の保持部材1であって、前記容器50の内部への配置姿勢で、該容器50の底部51b側を向く裏面2とは逆側を向く表面3の少なくとも一部に、周囲の部分よりも該容器50の底部51b側に向けて窪ませてなる組織配置スペース4を設けるとともに、厚み方向に貫通する複数個の液通過孔5を設けたことを特徴とするものである。【選択図】図2
