Aspects of the disclosure relate methods and a synthetic cell delivery device for treating trauma present relative to the inner surface of a hollow organ such as an esophagus.

Description

[0001] cross reference [0002] This application claims priority and benefit to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 741,544, filed October 5, 2018, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 740,962, filed October 4, 2018, the entire disclosure of the foregoing Incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present application relates to cell delivery devices for promoting and / or effecting tissue regeneration in vivo on areas close to the surface of a hollow organ such as the esophagus. Background technique [0004] Although esophageal injury may be a relatively rare event, the occurrence of injury is serious and in the absence of early detection and treatment, further complications can precede. Causes of esophageal trauma can include penetrating or blunt trauma, iatrogenic trauma, lacerations from ingestion of sharp objects, or tissue destruction secondary to swallowing corrosive substances. Esophageal damage can also occur gradual...
