Message TransCyte Advanced Tissue Sciences’ TransCyte is a temporary cover made from artificial skin, which promotes faster healing in burn patients without the pain and complexity involved in current treatment programs. Working with ATS’s polymer chemists and molecular biologists, IDEO worked on the injection molding, fluid mechanics, and the human factors of the bioreactor cassette, which serves as an aseptic growing chamber and shipping container and withstands temperature changes from the 37 degrees C of human body temperature to the -70 degrees C of cryogenic storage. A particular challenge was designing a seal that would perform well with the temperature change, be rugged yet easy to open, and be manufacturable in volume. (This product was formerly called Dermagraft-TC.) http://www.ideo.com/work/transcyte/
