    摘要: A medical system for testing air leaks in tissue includes a housing unit, a tubular member, a source of negative pressure, a source of positive pressure, and a pressure gauge. The housing unit defines an interior chamber configured for receipt of at least a portion of an organ. The tubular member is coupled to the housing unit and includes a first end portion configured to be coupled to the portion of the organ. The source of negative pressure is configured to be in fluid communication with the interior chamber of the housing unit. The source of positive pressure is configured to be in fluid communication with the portion of the organ via attachment to a second end portion of the tubular member. The pressure gauge is in communication with the interior chamber of the housing unit and the tubular member to determine a pressure differential therebetween.
