Vivian® for organ transplantation
The company is at the end-stage of the development of VIVIAN®, a new generation disposable organ preservation device for kidney and available for hospital use. Further applications for liver and heart are at early stages. The device integrates the Hypothermic Ultrasound Preservation Technology (HUPT), a revolutionary proprietary and patented technology that leads to superior preservation of organs during ex-vivo conditions.
Current R&D status
After having successfully completed functional kidney and liver preclinical studies in both rat and pig models, the company has developed a fully functional clinical prototype.
A first in man safety and performance clinical study of VIVIAN® in kidney transplantation has completed patient enrolment. Thirty-day planned interim results are expected to be available by end of May 2019 and complete 1-year results in 1Q2020. CE mark and ISO 13485 certificates have already been obtained.
Additional pipeline – Cell and tissue preservation
Nowadays, the transportation of cells is done using isothermal boxes or cooling boxes, similar to the picnic cooling boxes used in the organ transportation. The cells can be transported in isothermal conditions (whenever the type of cell allows it and the distance is short) or cryopreserved (in temperature of -40ºC). However, both methods can result in a significant loss of cell viability and/or function.
“At Transplant Biomedicals team we are excited to solve the most ambitious challenges of health professionals and, therefore, we transform scientific and technological knowledge into products that contribute to the improvement of people’s health”
