"Cold chain" has never been this "Hot"! Glad to see more are joining this journey with X-Therma Inc. Since day 1 of our founding, we have strongly believed there is a bottleneck holding back the new age of medicine and have dedicated our efforts to this challenge, despite a really "cold" start. It takes unshakable vision, many failures and tons of perseverance. But key innovations will enable us to re-imagine the cold chain and unleash the full potential of regenerative medicine for patients in need!

Another Record-Setting Organ Donation Year in the U.S. in 2019; Transplant Rate in 2020 Stays Strong New organ donation records were set in 2019 for the tenth consecutive year in the United States—and transplants were bouncing back in May 2020.

Sad but true. It’s astonishing to see the number of lives impacted. “In a nation where nearly 113,000 people are waiting for transplants, scores of organs - mostly kidneys - are discarded after they don’t reach their destination in time." Facts like this are what motivate us to drive real change. X-Therma’s solution safely preserves organs longer thus expanding the time available for transit, making problems like this one preventable. https://khn.org/news/how-lifesaving-organs-for-transplant-go-missing-in-transit/

How Lifesaving Organs For Transplant Go Missing In Transit Scores of organs — mostly kidneys — are trashed each year and many more become critically delayed while being shipped on commercial airliners, a new investigation finds.

"...Emily Mullin reported that because the lungs tend to be damaged, inflamed or filled with fluid, the rate of a donated one being acceptable for transplant is only about 20 percent..." We are aiming to change that at X-Therma. Not only will our solutions enable many more available organs for transplant, the organs will be healthier when they reach the patient, resulting in better transplant outcomes.

Excellent overview of the problem we're trying to solve.
"For now, however, most donated organs still travel to their recipients nestled in coolers of melting ice. Why?

"Quite honestly, the hurdle with [perfusion] is the cost," Lima said. A perfusion system for a single organ can cost several thousand dollars, which obviously surpasses the price of a standard cooler, he said. As few studies have compared perfusion to standard cold storage, no "earth-shattering data" exist that could convince hospitals to make the switch nationwide. "

How Long Can Organs Stay Outside the Body Before Being Transplanted? Depending on the organ, the time can range from a few hours to a day and a half.
