Abstract
The present disclosure includes a system to preserve tissue and associated methods. The system can include a portable oxygen source to provide oxygen and apply a pressure gradient to a flow of the oxygen, an organ preservation system having an inlet to fluidly couple to vasculature of the tissue, and an oxygen line to fluidly couple the portable oxygen source to the organ preservation system at the inlet, wherein the portable oxygen source is to apply the pressure gradient to pump fluid containing the oxygen through the organ preservation system.
Claims20
A system to preserve tissue, the system comprising:
- a portable oxygen source to simultaneously provide oxygen and to apply a pressure gradient to a flow of the oxygen;
- an organ preservation system for housing the tissue, and having an inlet fluidly coupled to vasculature of the tissue;
- and
- an oxygen line to fluidly couple the portable oxygen source to the organ preservation system at the inlet, wherein the portable oxygen source is to apply the pressure gradient to pump fluid containing the oxygen through the organ preservation system.
A method of preserving tissue comprising vasculature comprising:
- pumping a perfusate as a mixture comprising oxygen into a perfusion system fluidly coupled to the vasculature, wherein pumping the mixture comprises both moving the mixture into the vasculature and regulating pressure of the mixture with a single device;
- and
- providing energy to affect the pumping using a portable oxygen source.
