Abstract
A new vessel which improves conditions of preservation and transport of kidneys and other organs is presented. A Dewar container which provides an almost complete thermal insulation against the environment is chosen. The vessel contains the kidney and a cooling solution which melts at 4 degrees C. When it is closed the organ is exposed to this temperature and measurements show this to be constant for 70 h. The melting point can be lowered or raised as required. By choosing a greater amount of the cooling solution the duration of the working period can be prolonged.
