Abstract
Abstract Biocompatible reservoirs are constituted by collagen, optionally associated with mucopolysaccharides and/or gelatin; these reservoirs can be filled with an active principle which does not have to be mixed with collagen. The reservoirs can be employed to either hold or to emit one or more active principles in order to concentrate same and/or to distribute same at a controlled rate "in vitro" and/or "in vivo". The reservoirs thus are enclosed vessels of conseration of "in vitro" or "in vivo" cultures of cells, bacteria or viruses.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
78 words
A reservoir which is at least partially biocompatible and implantable which permits conservation, cellular culturing or controlled liberation of an active principle, said reservoir comprising a continuous envelope containing collagen which is filled with an active principle, wherein the envelope consists essentially of native collagen whose reactive carboxy groups have been blocked by introducing azide groups thereon, wherein the active principle which fills the collagen reservoir is independent of the collagen, and wherein the collagen has reduced biodegradability.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
78 words
A reservoir which is at least partially biocompatible and implantable which permits conservation, cellular culturing or controlled liberation of an active principle, said reservoir comprising a continuous envelope containing collagen which is filled with an active principle, wherein the envelope consists essentially of native collagen whose reactive carboxy groups have been blocked by introducing azide groups thereon, wherein the active principle which fills the collagen reservoir is independent of the collagen, and wherein the collagen has reduced biodegradability.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
78 words
A reservoir which is at least partially biocompatible and implantable which permits conservation, cellular culturing or controlled liberation of an active principle, said reservoir comprising a continuous envelope containing native collagen and which is filled with an active principle, wherein the collagen of the envelope has a molecule of high molecular weight grafted onto its surface, and wherein the active principle which fills the collagen reservoir is independent of the collagen, and wherein the collagen has reduced permeability.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
78 words
A reservoir which is at least partially biocompatible and implantable which permits conservation, cellular culturing or controlled liberation of an active principle, said reservoir comprising a continuous envelope containing native collagen and which is filled with an active principle, wherein the collagen of the envelope has a molecule of high molecular weight grafted onto its surface, and wherein the active principle which fills the collagen reservoir is independent of the collagen, and wherein the collagen has reduced permeability.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
79 words
A reservoir which is at least partially biocompatible and implantable which permits conservation, cellular culturing or controlled liberation of an active principle, said reservoir comprising a continuous envelope containing native collagen and which is filled with an active principle, wherein the collagen envelope is grafted onto an enzyme with is capable of reacting in vivo with the active principle contained in the collagen envelope and wherein the active principle which fills the collagen reservoir is independent of the collagen.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
79 words
A reservoir which is at least partially biocompatible and implantable which permits conservation, cellular culturing or controlled liberation of an active principle, said reservoir comprising a continuous envelope containing native collagen and which is filled with an active principle, wherein the collagen envelope is grafted onto an enzyme with is capable of reacting in vivo with the active principle contained in the collagen envelope and wherein the active principle which fills the collagen reservoir is independent of the collagen.
