The advantages of oxygenated perfusion are continuing to be demonstrated by many groups focused on improving the efficacy of tissue preservation for transplant, bioreactors for studies of basic tissue physiology, and closed-loop resuscitation. This work presents a novel and portable device that supplies oxygenated and pulsatile perfusion, both of which are regulated by a single pump-oxygenator component comprised of silicone tubes that are cyclically inflated/deflated with compressed oxygen. In this study, pump variables (oxygen supply pressure and length of a silicone tube) were evaluated against hydraulic elements that mimicked the vascular resistance of kidneys, livers, and hearts.
