Medi-Ops And Southwest Transplant Alliance Successfully Complete One Of The First Commercial On-Board Courier Flights With Paragonix Kidneyvault


(MENAFN- PR Newswire) The Paragonix KidneyVault is a cutting-edge device that allows kidneys to be transported safely while attached to a kidney pump. Prior to this innovation, organs could not be flown commercially while being supported by a pump, limiting the ability to extend the reach of transplant services and narrowing the pool of patients who could receive life-saving transplants. With the KidneyVault, kidneys can now be flown greater distances, ensuring that more patients have access to life-saving treatments, no matter where they are located.

"This milestone demonstrates the power of collaboration and innovation in the healthcare and logistics sectors," said Rylan Stone, President of Medi-Ops. "Through the use of the Paragonix KidneyVault, we can now facilitate the safe transport of kidneys over much longer distances, ultimately saving lives. We are proud to partner with Southwest Transplant Alliance in this momentous achievement."

The Paragonix KidneyVault is equipped with advanced monitoring technology that ensures the preservation of the kidney throughout its journey, maintaining ideal conditions for transplant success. The partnership between Medi-Ops, STA, and Paragonix Technologies has set a new standard for organ transport, eliminating previous barriers and expanding the possibilities for transplant programs across the country.

"We are thrilled to have been part of this historic flight," said Brad Adams, President and CEO of Southwest Transplant Alliance. "The ability to transport kidneys more efficiently, with the support of the KidneyVault, significantly enhances our ability to honor the gift of donation and save more lives. This is a giant leap forward in the field of organ transplantation and logistics, and we look forward to more successes like this in the future."

This milestone marks the beginning of a transformative shift in how organ transplants are managed and delivered. The collaboration between Medi-Ops, Southwest Transplant Alliance, and Paragonix Technologies is just the beginning of what promises to be a game-changing approach to life-saving transplant logistics.
