About

OrganOx is a medical device company revolutionizing liver transplantation through its innovative metra® system. The metra® is a transportable, automated ex vivo liver perfusion device that utilizes normothermic machine perfusion – a method of preserving organs at normal body temperature with oxygen and nutrients – to extend preservation times and enable objective assessment of organ viability. Founded as a spin-out from the University of Oxford, OrganOx offers a significant advancement over traditional cold storage methods. By maintaining liver function during preservation, the metra® allows transplant teams to optimize organ utilization, potentially increasing the number of viable organs available and improving patient outcomes. This technology represents a key step forward in the field of organ transplantation, offering a compelling opportunity for professionals seeking to contribute to cutting-edge medical innovation.
