Texas Patent of the Month – September 2024
Vascular Perfusion Solutions, Inc. has developed an advanced portable organ preservation system that promises to revolutionize the way organs and tissues are stored and transported for transplants. This system uses a unique approach, leveraging a compact oxygen source that both oxygenates and powers the flow of a life-sustaining fluid through the vasculature of the preserved tissue. Unlike traditional organ preservation methods, which require multiple bulky components and external power sources, this device is self-contained and portable, making it a significant innovation for transplant medicine.
At the heart of this system is a compressed gas-powered pump that relies on oxygen from a portable generator or concentrator. This oxygen is not only used to enrich the fluid that nourishes the organ but also creates the necessary pressure to circulate the fluid, mimicking natural blood flow. This dual-purpose approach allows the system to remain simple and compact, reducing the risk of mechanical failure and the need for additional external power supplies.
The system can be fine-tuned with pressure and flow regulators to adapt to specific tissue requirements, extending viability and minimizing cellular damage during transport. This portability and adaptability mean that organs can be kept in optimal condition over longer distances and timeframes, offering new hope for patients awaiting transplants, especially in remote areas where access to specialized preservation facilities is limited.
With this innovative solution, Vascular Perfusion Solutions is setting a new standard in organ and tissue preservation, combining practicality with cutting-edge technology to increase the success rate of life-saving transplants worldwide. This device has the potential to make organ transplants safer, more accessible, and more effective than ever before.
