Products and Services

• OCS LUNG

This product is designed for the preservation of standard criteria donor lungs intended for double-lung transplants. By maintaining the donor lungs in a near-physiologic state, the OCS LUNG system increases the potential pool of viable organs for transplantation, thereby addressing the critical shortage of transplantable lungs.

• OCS Heart

OCS Heart is an advanced technology geared for the preservation of heartbeating donor (DBD) hearts that may be considered unsuitable because of the limitations associated with cold storage. The system additionally offers a unique capability for the ex vivo reanimation, functional monitoring, and beating-heart preservation of hearts from donors after circulatory death (DCD), effectively expanding the heart donor pool by utilizing organs that may not have been considered for transplantation previously.

• OCS Liver

Geared towards the preservation of donor livers, including those from DBD and DCD donors, the OCS Liver system operates by recreating near-physiological conditions that sustain the liver outside of the human body. This technology is pivotal in increasing the usability of donated livers for transplantation, potentially reducing the waiting lists for liver transplants significantly.

• National OCS Program

TransMedics has also established a national OCS program that acts as a comprehensive solution for organ retrieval. This includes outsourced services that cover the entire process of organ procurement, extending from aviation and ground transportation to various coordination activities, thus streamlining the organ transplantation logistics chain.

• OCS Organ Management and Logistics Services

In addition to the innovative OCS technology, TransMedics provides a suite of organ management and logistics services. These services are designed to facilitate the complex process of organ transportation and management, ensuring that organs arrive at their destination in optimal condition ready for transplantation. This comprehensive service package includes aviation and ground transportation, among other critical coordination activities necessary for successful organ transplantation.
