ABSTRACT:
A portable container is disclosed herein for the hypothermic transport of donor organs which includes an inner container holding a body organ within a surrounding preservation medium and an outer container suspending the inner container within a thermoregulatory fluid. The inner and outer sidewalls are transparent, permitting exterior stored organ visual inspection. An air inlet exhaust port is provided on the outer container for controlling the volume of fluid into which the organ-carrying inner container is held. The double container storage, storage medium and fluid, as well as proper sealing devices, provide for sterile isolation of the organ.
