Organ Preservation
Paragonix a Getinge company
Delivering every possible advantage – globally
As a leading organ transplant company, our mission is to set a new standard in organ transplantation that improves patient outcomes around the world. We strive to protect the ultimate gift of organ donation with the dignity and safety that it deserves, giving recipients every possible advantage to thrive.
Our commitment to the transplant industry
Paragonix Technologies is a leading developer, manufacturer, and service provider in the organ transplant industry, establishing a novel approach to preservation that represents a significant improvement over the traditional standard of care.
Paragonix Advanced Organ Preservation devices combine clinically-proven, stable cooling techniques with digital tracking and monitoring technologies to provide clinicians complete control and oversight throughout the donor organ journey. The clinical impact of Paragonix preservation technology is reinforced by the GUARDIAN clinical registries, the largest database of organ preservation data in the world that analyzes post-transplant outcomes in transplant recipients.
Currently, Paragonix offers six FDA-cleared and five CE-marked preservation devices: the Paragonix SherpaPak® Cardiac Transport System, the LUNGguard® Donor Lung Preservation System, the LIVERguard® Donor Liver Preservation System, the BAROguard® Donor Lung Preservation System, the PancreasPak® Organ Preservation System, and the KidneyVault® Portable Renal Perfusion System. Transplant centers that utilize Paragonix devices have access to a comprehensive, 24/7 national support system composed of experienced transplant clinicians.
When no two transplant journeys are ever the same, controlling every variable becomes a challenge. With a comprehensive approach designed to be there at every step, we are ready for anything.
