[0002] Corneal transplantation is an important means to treat corneal diseases and restore vision, and corneal transport is a key link to ensure the success of corneal transplantation. Corneal transport generally uses an organ transport box, which needs to have good heat preservation, shockproof, sterile and other functions to ensure the quality and activity of the cornea during transport. In actual operation, the organ transport box is used for corneal transport, which is usually modified from a trolley case and has a universal wheel, a box body, a trolley and other conventional structures. During transport, ice blocks are laid on the bottom and around the box to lower the temperature, the cornea is packed in a sterile bag, the bag is filled with organ preservation solution, and then placed in the transport box after sealing. In addition, there are also special corneal transport boxes, some of which have an inner and outer double-layer design, the inner layer is filled with sterile medium preservation solution, the cornea is fixed by a fixed cross and an angular structure, and the outer layer is filled with ice water mixture to maintain constant temperature, and some also have a shock absorption device.
