A New Dawn
Leading innovation in perfusion technology
Supporting some of America's most accomplished surgeons, physicians, and scientists by creating the ‘tools’ needed to perfuse and preserve a wide variety of organs and tissue ex vivo—out of the body—allowing them to advance drug and gene therapy research, technology that is now set to transform the world of organ transplant.
Experts in high control, low pressure, air, and fluid flow technology solutions, with one of our many patented technologies, emulating the “push and pull” of the cardiovascular system, providing the very ‘heart’ for a series of commercial products and newly emerging devices.
Committed to making a difference for:
500,000 people in the U.S. – and three times that many globally – are on the organ waitlist and dialysis
HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS
Provide better instruments and ex vivo organ metrics with which to work and make critical, life-saving decisions
ORGAN DONORS
Last year nearly 30% of donated kidneys were not transplanted, and only 10% of the transplant need is accommodated globally
ACCESSIBILITY
Transplants have the potential to bend down the cost curve since they are less expensive than dialysis
