Abstract

A sleeve organized tissue is formed of a biocompatible structure surrounding organized tissue in at least one dimension and along a length of the tissue. In certain preferred embodiments the tissue is attached to the sleeve, subjecting the organized tissue to internal tension within the sleeve. Methods of providing organized tissue within a sleeve and delivering protein to a mammal are also disclosed.
