Persufflation
keeping organs alive by submerging them in cold saline and perfusing oxygen-rich gas through their vasculature
The ScubaTx System comprises a small, portable, multi-organ Base Unit and a portfolio of organ-specific Consumables. It is being designed in 2020 from the ground up, utilising the very latest components and design processes. It will deliver the 3 key components of Persufflation:
Cool
Organs are submerged in cold saline. This decreases kinetics of metabolic activities.
Oxygenate
Humidified oxygen-rich gas is delivered through the organ’s vascular to reduce hypoxia.
Control
Humidity & pressure levels are controlled to deliver perfusion without tissue damage.
