Let’s change the organ transplant world!
Why 24 hours is transformational
By extending the viability of organs from 4 hours to 24 hours, more organs will be available for transplant, and more lives will be saved.
More Organs
More donated organs will be viable because there’s more time to reach patients.
Better Matches
With more organs available, surgeons are able to select a better match, rather than settling for a possible match.
Fewer Rejections
With more time, organs are in better condition at transplantation, rather than on the edge of viability.
ULiSSES™ is a game-changer.
The very first organ ever transplanted was placed in a cooler and packed in ice, and that is still how most organs are preserved 65 years later. This is unacceptable. Vascular Perfusion Solutions (VPS) is working with a team of world-class scientists to perfect ULiSSES™, a device designed to perfuse and resuscitate tissue, allowing organs and limbs to remain viable for more than 24 hours.
Our next round of research
The ULiSSES™ device has already been successfully tested in small animal studies, but now large animal studies must be conducted so that human testing can follow. These steps are important if we are to finally change the world of organ transplantation.
How we’ll use the funds
The funds raised will allow VPS to get more ULiSSES™ devices into the field for testing, and get them there sooner. This will provide the diversity and volume of data needed for early FDA submission, and to, sooner rather than later, secure FDA clearance.
