[0002] Organ transplantation refers to the technology of introducing an organ from an individual into a part of the individual or another individual through surgery or other methods to replace the original part that has lost its function. Since organ transplantation requires the transplantation of living organs, it is a prerequisite for the success of transplantation that the organ for transplantation maintains its complete anatomical structure and activity from the time it is removed from the donor's body until its main blood vessels are connected to the recipient's blood vessels. Therefore, the preservation of ex vivo organs is a key link in organ transplantation.

[0003] Currently, common methods for preserving isolated organs include low-temperature static freezing and low-temperature perfusion. Among them, low-temperature perfusion preservation is to place the isolated organ in a certain storage container, connect the corresponding perfusion equipment, and continuously perfuse the isolated organ. However, long-term fixation of organs in storage containers can easily cause organ ischemia. At present, by setting a breathing airbag under the isolated organ storage container, it is possible to simulate the periodic squeezing of the liver by the diaphragm during respiration, and prevent ischemia of the static part of the organ caused by long-term fixation. However, due to the differences in the sizes of isolated organs, the existing breathing airbags cannot be adjusted accordingly according to the differences in the isolated organs, resulting in poor squeezing effect.
