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.
