Major Universities Adopt OrganOx Technology for Liver Transplants
What happened
UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital, University of Michigan, and University of Pennsylvania are utilizing OrganOx technology for transplant operations. This advanced organ preservation technology circulates warm, oxygenated blood, nutrients, and medications through a donor liver, allowing it to function outside the body.

Why it matters
The adoption of OrganOx allows transplant teams to better evaluate organ quality and safely use more donor livers, which expands access to life-saving care. Other academic medical centers, including Duke University and Mount Sinai, are also using the technology.
