Description
Summary:In the past two decades, much advancement has been made in the area of organ procurement and preservation for the transplant of kidneys, livers, and lungs. However, small intestine preservation remains unchanged. We propose a new preservation system for intestinal grafts that has the potential to increase the viability of the organ during transport. When experimented with porcine intestine, our device resulted in superior tissue quality than tissue in standard of care.
