Lifeport Liver Transporter
Approximately 2,500 patients in the United States die every year on the liver transplant waiting list before a donor liver becomes available.1 Increasing the number of organs available for transplantation, while reducing post-transplantation complications and shortening the length of hospital stay, are important clinical goals to improve patient outcomes.

The Clinical Need in Renal Transplantation The innovative LifePort technology has proven to significantly improve 1-year and 3-year graft survival for all types of deceased donor kidneys when compared with cold static storage.1,2 LifePort Kidney Transporter provides a sealed, sterile environment where a specially formulated physiologic solution is gently pumped through the kidney at cold temperatures to minimize tissue damage while the organ is being preserved outside the body. LifePort Kidney Transporter is lightweight and portable allowing an organ to be perfused from time of recovery until transplantation. It is designed to travel unaccompanied by land or air, safely transporting the kidney across town or between countries. While the kidney is being perfused, LifePort Kidney Transporter records data on temperature, flow rate, vascular resistance and pressure every 10 seconds, offering clinicians important additional data. Long-term survival of kidney grafts is not improving despite better donor management and improved immunosuppression.1 The number of people needing dialysis for end-stage renal failure is likely to double in the next 10 years.2
