I joined Organ Recovery Systems five years ago as a Clinical and Technical Advisor training clients on our LifePort medical devices. However, I was introduced to LifePort Kidney Transporter and many of my ORS team members in 2011 while working as an Organ Recovery Specialist at Versiti in Wisconsin. It was this hands-on experience with LKT as well as the ORS team’s enthusiasm for it that led me to ORS. My role here is very rewarding. I truly enjoy seeing procurement and transplant teams become comfortable pumping kidneys and livers independently. In my free time, I can be found in the woods, on a lake, or in my workshop restoring old items that some people consider “junk.” Outside of working in the operating room, building furniture and restoring old advertising signs is my passion. Working for ORS enables me to pursue both. I’m proud to work for a company with a great mission, and terrific people, products, and clients.

Last Friday, two of our Clinical and Technical Advisors, Michael and Eric, had a great time training the team at Nevada Donor Network (NDN) on LifePort Kidney Transporter. They also enjoyed attending NDN’s Inspire Hope Gala on Saturday! 💃 Could your team use a LifePort training review? Reach out to your representative today to schedule one!

Is there a cost benefit to hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP)? A recent pharmacoeconomic study from Brazil by Tedesco Silva Junior et al. sought to evaluate the cost-effectiveness and budgetary impact of incorporating HMP for preserving extended criteria donor (ECD) kidneys. They found that using HMP for ECD kidneys, compared to static cold storage, resulted in more kidneys being transplanted, fewer patients on the waitlist, and fewer deaths. There was a cost increase of 4,453,749 USD over 5 years, however, the budget impact analysis realized a resource savings after year 5 of implementation. Overall, they concluded that the strategic implementation of HMP for ECD kidneys is cost effective and demonstrates a benefit on budget based on the increase in number of transplants, decrease in dialysis, and a decrease in mortality rate. https://lnkd.in/gP6YsAvB
