Initial Sketches on Allograft Preservation Chamber

    • These are sketches of the current allograft chamber.
    • Left. This chamber allows ease for the fluid to flow down to the waste exit.
    • Right. This chamber can hold 6 tissues.
    • Bottom. This is the internal display of how the fluid is circulated. It is easier to change the fluid by pouring the new fluid in one valve instead of pouring to 6 separate valves. Also, all the waste exits from one output, instead of 6 separate outputs.
    • These chambers hold multiple tissues. There are removable slides to place tissue.
    • Top. Another multi-chamber design.
    • Bottom. A pH indicator might be necessary to keep the fluid in check.
    • Top Left. A permeable layer allows the waste to settle to the bottom.
    • Bottom Left. Similar to sketch 1, an incline eases the fluid flow.
    • Right. Stackable chambers make storing and transportation easier.
    • Top Left. An additional top permeable layer holds tissue in place. This reduces the movement of the tissue allowing more protection during transportation.
    • Bottom Left. Additional side permeable layers increase the protection.
    • Top Right. The fluid changes color when the fluid becomes contaminated.
    • Bottom Right. A flow rate measuring device gives the user more control on the flow rate.
    • Top Right. The permeable layers are adjustable in width.
    • Bottom. The top and bottom layers have holes on the edges to allow the side layers to be inserted.
    • Top Left. The lid of the chamber give an access for a thermometer to check the fluid temperature.
    • Top Right. A digital display of the temperature, pH, duration of the tissue experiencing low/high temperature, warning signs, etc significantly helps the user know the tissue's condition.
    • Middle Right. A vacuum access to allow a vacuum to take out air that might contaminate the tissue.
    • Bottom Right. The sides of the chamber have slits on the walls which allows the top layer to be adjustable in height. But this causes the top layer to unstable.
    • Bottom Left. A sketch of all the features combined.
