UW Physicians Tout New Organ Transporter

University of Wisconsin doctors are using new technology to help more patients who need kidney transplants get the life-saving organ they need.

The LifePort Kidney Transporter keeps the organ constantly pumped with oxygen and blood with a cold solution — even during transportation. Unlike traditional coolers, the transporter will ensure more kidneys will be available and that the organs will arrive at the recipient in better condition.
