About us
"Living Organs For Life" Transforming transplantation with the OrganOx metra®. A transportable, automated ex vivo liver perfusion device. The core technology employed by the OrganOx metra® has been in development for over 15 years. During this time both of the founders (Professor Peter Friend and Professor Constantin Coussios) have driven the development of organ preservation and maintenance, formerly at the University of Cambridge and latterly at the University of Oxford. OrganOx Limited was founded in April 2008 as a spin-out from the University of Oxford. Conventional cold preservation involves storage of the liver at 4˚C, using a non-physiological perfusion solution that aims to minimise liver decay. By contrast, warm preservation seeks to re-create an environment that mimics the human body by continuously perfusing at physiological pressures and flows with oxygen-carrying red cells at 37˚C and providing nutrition. The liver is therefore functional during the preservation period, producing bile, metabolizing glucose and maintaining a physiological pH. This enables objective assessment of organ performance prior to transplant, extended preservation times, and the potential use of organs that are presently being discarded.

Thrilled to share this exciting development from our partners at UF Health! Their innovative use of the metra for real-time liver assessment during transport is a major step forward in #OrganTransplant. #InnovationInHealthcare #UFHealth #OrganTechnologies
🌟 Exciting News! 🌟 We took the OrganOX on the road for the first time yesterday! Taking OrganOx on the road allows us to perfuse and assess the liver for ischemic damage during transport, reducing cold ischemia time (CIT). This real-time monitoring aims to ensure a successful transplantation and improved patient outcomes. Kudos to NORA for their support of the UF Health Transplant Program. #OrganTransplant #OrganOX #InnovationInHealthcare #Transplantation #UFHealth

We are tremendously privileged to partner with fantastic transplant programs like Intermountain Health to help make stories like this possible. We wish Sophie all the best and can't wait to follow her contributions to the study of liver disease. #nmp #organperfusion #liverdisease #organox https://lnkd.in/gRRpUUdx

New data from CCF showcases advantages of NMP technology. #nmp #LiverTransplant #OrganTechnologies #MedTechInnovation
A perfusion machine keeps blood pumping through a donated organ, giving us time to test it before transplantation. It's cut wait times for a liver transplant. 25% of our patients now receive a transplant within 5 days of being listed. Learn more: https://cle.clinic/45eZtRb
