In the event of acute liver failure, the ALiver bioartificial liver support system takes over important tasks of the organ. It contains laboratory-grown cells that not only filter toxins from the patient’s blood but also fulfil important metabolic functions. The design is focused on the touchscreen, which provides central access to all operating functions. With its protruding frame edges, it clearly stands out from the gently curved body. The transparent doors make the unit appear open and accessible.
Statement by the Jury
ALiver impresses with its organic appearance featuring soft, flowing lines. It reflects very well the procedure used which maintains blood circulation outside of the body.
