About the LifePort Kidney Transporter
Created with the challenges of organ recovery and transport in mind, the Company’s lead
product, LifePort Kidney Transporter is designed to provide improved kidney
preservation, evaluation and transport prior to transplantation. LifePort provides a sealed,
sterile, protected environment where a physiologic solution is gently pumped through the
kidney at cold temperatures to minimize damage while the organ is being preserved
outside the body. LifePort is lightweight and portable, allowing organs to be perfused
from the time of recovery until transplant. It is designed to travel unaccompanied by land
or air, safely transporting the kidneys across town or between countries. While the
kidney is being perfused, the LifePort records data on temperature, flow rate vascular
resistance and pressure every 10 seconds providing surgeons with additional data prior to
transplant.
