There is an unmet need to increase available time for transplant surgery, allowing surgeons to work at their own pace, minimizing risk of complications & thermal injury.
1 in 4 transplanted kidneys fail within 5 years.
As a result, patients often return to dialysis for treatment. This is both devastating for the organ recipient and adds significant costs to the healthcare system.
30% of transplanted kidneys experience delayed function.
After transplantation, temporary dialysis may still be required due to acute kidney injury, this further adds to the risk of cellular rejection and reduces graft survival rate.
Ischemic injury occurs regularly during transplantation.
For every 10 minutes above 15°C, there is a 10% increased risk of kidney failure and a 63% increased risk of delayed function.
