Abstract
A protective interface cushion device includes an upper half, a lower half, a cutout, a recessed surface, and an exclusion region. The upper half has a first interior surface and a first outer surface. The lower half has a second interior surface and a second outer surface. The first and second interior surfaces are configured to receive a cryostorage bag. The cutout forms an opening through at least one of the first interior surface, the first outer surface, the second interior surface, and the second outer surface. The cutout is configured to restrict a first cryostorage bag fill volume. The recessed surface, on the first and/or second interior surfaces, is configured to restrict a second cryostorage bag fill volume. The exclusion region, between the first interior surface and the second interior surface, is configured to displace liquid contents of the cryostorage bag into the first and/or second fill volume.
