摘要：
An implantable cell encapsulating device for implantation in the body is described, the device comprising a planar pouch having a chamber for encapsulation of cells defined by a microporous barrier layer, a macroporous strengthening layer, and a port for selective access to the chamber, and in which the macroporous strengthening layer comprises a liquid rope coil scaffold. The macroporous strengthening layer may be sandwiched between two layers of microporous barrier layer, such that the microporous barrier layer conforms around the microporous strengthening layer to create a non-planar profile with increased surface area.
