Abstract

The permanently rising need in donor organs for transplantation is the impulse to develop new and better storage and preservation methods. Those should be used to make organs available to a bigger list of patients. In this paper an alternative storage method is presented which can also be used in combination with a standard preservation. The evaluation of our organ storage technique is based on experimental methods. We realised a pressure distribution analysis which proves a significant decrease of the reaction force while the organ is bedded in a floating storage. Furthermore, the problems of cold-spots in using in-ice-storage and the floating storage are discussed and result verification is prepared on the basis of histological analysis.
