The present invention provides a method for forming a connective tissue body, which enables extending the ranges of design values in terms of shape, dimension, etc., of the connective tissue body. This method comprises: a fat treatment step (step S13) for removing fat contained in a connective tissue body, which is formed in an environment where a biological tissue material is present, from the interior of the connective tissue body while the connective tissue body is being set in a molding tool, and for causing the shape of the connective tissue body to follow the shape of the molding tool; and a bioinert solution treatment step (step S14) for immersing the connective tissue body, together with the molding tool, in a bioinert solution while the connective tissue body is being shaped so as to follow the shape of the molding tool after the fat treatment step. |
