Abstract
The invention concerns an isothermic container for transporting grafts at a constant temperature equal to +4.degree. C. For this purpose, the container according to the invention presents a thermal exchanger (6) realizing a thermal flow between a thermal source constituted in particular by ice and water at about 0.degree. C. and disposed preferably in the lid (1) of the container and a volume such as a peripheral enclosure (11).
Claims15
A container for transporting grafts at 4.degree. C. comprising:
- a vessel;
- a lid movable between a vessel-closing position and a vessel-opening position;
- insulating means for thermally insulating the vessel and lid from an exterior medium;
- means for defining a peripheral volume of water in the vessel including a layer located in an upper part of the volume of water;
- a thermal source at a constant temperature below 4.degree. C. and superjacent the layer of water;
- and
- a thermal exchange located in an upper part of the container for providing a thermal exchange between the thermal source and the layer of water to maintain the volume of water at substantially 4.degree. C.
