Summary
The main methods for preserving transplantable tissues are cold storage (CS) and ex-vivo perfusion (EVP), with EVP offering better viability. While portable EVP devices exist for kidneys, larger organs still lack suitable portable systems. Scalable, modular perfusion technologies could further enhance pre-implantation tissue viability. This study evaluates the FluidON, a portable, integrated perfusion prototype designed to maintain tissues under standard incubation conditions using an interchangeable bioreactor.
