The device maintains the

The group of US medical scientists has successfully invented the device to maintain 'life' of organs outside the human body, facilitating the transport of organs in medical transplantation. .

These organ-sustaining devices are called organ-care systems (OCS) . The surgeon at Phoenix Hospital used this system to maintain lung life during transport to the recipient. According to a report at the Al Jazzera conference, the US said the device also has the ability to sustain the heart, kidney and liver.

OCS was designed by TransMedics in Massachusetts, USA. The system succeeds in simulating environments with conditions similar to the human body. It can maintain the lungs breathing, heart beating, kidneys producing urine and liver production of bile. In addition, the OCS system maintains moisture, allowing internal organs to avoid infection, while adding exhausted nutrients.

OCS manages the amount of blood pumped through organs through a wireless connection, the device also manages both oxidative blood flow, flow, . by gas supply system and internal pumping system .

In the old way of freezing, the lungs can sustain life from 5 to 9 hours, even in the human heart organ, the preservation time is less, less than 8 hours. That became a big step in organ transplantation in medicine. However, with OCS equipment, lung life maintenance duration can be up to 11 hours, even longer.

Currently, OCS equipment is used in some hospitals in the UK and the US states. This system will be distributed widely into the market of countries by the end of this year.
