Placental chamber - artificial uterus

摘要

Life support system for a premature baby which remains attached to its placenta through its umbilical cord. The system includes upper and lower chambers separated by a dome-like partition. The lower chamber contains physiological liquid in which the baby is suspended, and the upper chamber contains an oxygen-containing atmosphere and a supply of nutrients for contact with the placenta which rests on the top of the dome-like partition.
