So far this is the most interesting ones I have looked at. $TMDX keeps donor organs alive during transport instead of packing them in ice. Their Organ Care System keeps a liver producing bile or a heart actually beating on the way to the operating room, which extends the viable window, lets surgeons assess function before implanting, and turns organs that would have been discarded into usable transplants. The clinical evidence is what makes it work. Their liver trial ran 300 patients across 20 US centers. Early allograft dysfunction dropped from 30.5% on ice to 17.3% on the machine. Ischemic biliary complications at twelve months fell from 9.9% to 2.6%. And utilization of organs from donation after cardiac death went from 24.5% to 45.9%, meaning nearly twice as many organs that woul
