A packaging system includes a holder and an inner container. The holder includes a top portion and a bottom portion that cooperate to form a cavity configured to receive one or more medical products therein and to retain the one or more medical products therein. The inner container defines an interior region configured to receive the holder therein. The holder includes sidewalls that form the cavity, and the sidewalls include channels configured to fluidly connect the cavity to the interior region of the inner container.

The present invention is directed to a cryogenic cooler that may include a cold finger coupled to a cooling source, an insulating vessel having an inner wall, an outer wall and an interior area formed within the inner wall, where the cold finger may be positioned at least partially within the interior area. The cryogenic cooler may also have a fitting positioned on the outer wall and configured for coupling to a gas source, and a passageway formed between the coupling and the inner wall and configured to allow the transfer of a gas from the gas source to the interior area. The cryogenic cooler may also have an opening is formed in the interior area so as to allow the transfer of the gas around the cold finger and out of the interior area.

The present disclosure relates to Oxygen Reduction Disposable kits (ORDKit), devices and methods for the improved preservation of whole blood and blood components. The improved devices and methods for the collection of blood and blood components provide for whole blood and blood components having reduced levels of oxygen. The devices and methods provide for the rapid preparation of deoxygenated blood and blood components for storage that improves the overall quality of the transfused blood and improves health outcomes in patients.

A tissue storage solution includes hypothermic storage compositions and methods. The hypothermic storage composition includes media containing Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) and albumin. A method of hypothermically storing tissue includes storing such tissue in a storage medium including DMEM and albumin. A method for wound or defect treatment includes applying tissue, stored in a hypothermic storage medium containing DMEM and albumin, to the site of such wound or defect.

A system and method for maintaining the vitality of an organ through negative pressure ventilation and perfusion. The system includes fluidically coupled components: an organ enclosure, a diaphragm enclosure, an actuator/pump, a perfusion system, and a reservoir. The actuator can displace a precise amount of a working fluid that displaces that precise amount of a sterile support fluid. The sterile fluid travels between the diaphragm enclosure and the organ enclosure, thereby ventilating the organ within the organ chamber. The perfusion system circulates a perfusate through the organ.
