Doctors at the Henry Ford Transplant Institute, Michigan’s most comprehensive transplant program, have found a new technology that can sustain a donated liver outside of the body for many hours longer than traditionally thought possible.

The Transmedics liver perfusion machine is currently under clinical trial and Henry Ford Hospital. This innovation can help revitalize donated organs that would otherwise not be suitable for transplantation.
