Traditional Static Cold Storage (SCS) often results in graft dysfunction and short ischemic times
-
SCS Relies on Ice...
Ice is at zero oC resulting in the risk of mechanical damage due to ice formation in the organ during preservation and transport.
-
...Deprives Organs of Oxygen...
Extended periods of ischemia can result in cellular damage and inflammation which is often exacerbated by subsequent restoration of blood flow at transplant.
-
...Limits the Viability Window
The viability window for transplant organs is critically limited by the damaging effects of cold ischemia.
A New Dawn In Organ Preservation
Our Platform
Fully integrated platform that works to keep organs cool and oxygenated
-
Uniquely in this market, the base unit is organ-agnostic and fully reusable
-
ScubaTx has developed a range of organ-specific disposable cassettes for use during preservation and transportation of heart, pancreas, kidney, liver and lung
-
To overcome the issues of ice, ScubaTx has developed a proprietary ATC system that can quickly reach and hold temperature for greater than 24hrs
-
ScubaTx utilises persufflation (PSF), a well know, but as yet uncommercialized technology, to deliver oxygen back to the organ during preservation and transport
