TECHNOLOGY-ENABLED ORGAN PRESERVATION
The full clinical and financial benefits of organ transplant therapy have yet to be unlocked. Advanced organ preservation systems have come to market in recent years, but these devices are large and costly. The result? In most countries, storing precious recovered organs in ice boxes is still the norm, and healthcare providers remain desperate for a 24h+ organ preservation solution that acknowledges their real world financial and human resource constraints.
The ScubaTx™ device will leverage world-leading expertise in software design to commercialise a proven but unexploited organ preservation technique, Persufflation. In doing so we will offer healthcare providers significant net savings, and so help clinicians around the world to increase the pool of life-giving organs.
ScubaTx™ Limited is a development stage spin-out from Newcastle University and Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. It is being built on the foundations of many years and £millions of research to date. The company has an experienced management team that is supported by an international clinical, commercial and academic network. Five patents have been filed, and clear development and clinical plans are in place.
