The Science of Organ Preservation

Preservation conditions influence organ health, physiologic stability, and what is ultimately possible across the transplant process.

Modern preservation science seeks to extend preservation windows, reduce injury, and provide greater insight into organ condition before transplantation.

Ischemia Shapes Outcomes

Every hour of ischemia contributes to cellular stress, making the reduction and management of ischemic injury a central focus of transplant preservation.

Recovery Begins Before Transplant

The way an organ returns to metabolic activity may influence recovery, driving interest in preservation approaches that support a more controlled transition.

Blood-free perfusate

Proprietary acellular perfusate designed to support metabolically active preservation—enabling oxygen delivery, nutrient support, and management of oxidative stress without the need for donor-matched blood.

Real-time visibility across the journey

Tracks organ status and location during preservation and transport, supporting coordination and assessment across teams.

Portable perfusion. Continuous preservation.

Automated, portable device designed to maintain kidneys in a metabolically active state during preservation and transport.
Operates at room temperature without donor-matched blood.
