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.
LifePort Liver Transporter is designed to deliver precision controlled perfusion of the hepatic artery and portal vein. Hypothermic perfusion is supported by redundant preservation systems for safety – dynamic perfusion plus static cold storage. Programmable display The clear programmable interface displays key data that track real-time organ perfusion status, patient ID number and blood type, cross clamp and total infusion time, perfusate temperature, hepatic and portal flow and pressure and total flow. Fold-out work surfaces LifePort Liver Transporter’s lid folds out to provide an optional work surface for crowded OR suites. The work surfaces lids are hinged for easy removal and storage. Optional custom adjustable cart The height-adjustable fold-flat cart seamlessly docks with LifePort Liver Transporter, and is designed to provide optimal surgeon comfort and optical range.
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. 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.
