There When You Need Them
Lightweight and portable organ perfusion technology for safe kidney and liver transport from recovery through transplantation.
LifePort Kidney Transporter
LifePort Kidney Transporter provides a sealed, sterile environment where a specially formulated physiologic solution is gently pumped through the kidney at cold temperatures to minimize tissue damage while the organ is being preserved outside the body.
Every LifePort Kidney Transporter is equipped with a specialized transmitter, revolutionizing device management. These trackers securely transmit encrypted LifePort data and location details to a protected web portal.
LifePort Liver Transporter
LifePort Liver Transporter is designed to deliver precision-controlled perfusion of the hepatic artery and portal vein. Hypothermic perfusion is supported by redundant preservation systems for safety – dynamic perfusion plus static cold storage.

“Organ Recovery Systems has made it very easy to utilize hypothermic machine perfusion! The LifePort Kidney Transporter is very user friendly, and the manual is very clear and easy to understand…As the educator for our organ recovery team ORS has made training my staff very easy by providing great training videos, resources, and in-person training sessions which has been incredibly helpful for our team. The best part about working with Organ Recovery Systems is the support that they offer.”

“LKT has set the standard for what a kidney pump is… We see them everywhere. We travel to different cities all across the United States, so we get to see other OPOs’ pumps – what they use – and LifePort is everywhere. It’s good to know that you’re using something that has a universal acceptance amongst other OPOs – and that everybody knows the device. Everybody uses LifePort Kidney Transporter and that gives me peace of mind.”
Ethan Fuqua
NETWORK FOR HOPE
“We’ve been able to utilize more marginal kidneys because of LifePort Kidney Transporter; I’ve witnessed the benefits and increase in transplants. Pumping those kidneys with LifePort Kidney Transporter gives you a better graft, a faster functioning graft… Another great thing about LifePort Kidney Transporter is its simplicity and how well it works. It doesn’t have to be overcomplicated.”
Sadie Everts
NEVADA DONOR NETWORK
“I started using LifePort Kidney Transporter back in 2007, it’s very intuitive and easy to navigate. Everything is where you expect it to be, making it effortless to get it started and to be able to use it right away… LKT has allowed us to accept hard-to-place kidneys. We can pump them for longer periods of time. We can accept kidneys from longer nautical miles now, and it has even allowed us to schedule all our kidney transplants during the day… Back in 2020, we pumped 282 and since then we’ve pumped at least 400 a year. This year we are budgeting to pump at least 500 or more.”

UT HEALTH SAN ANTONIO
“I started working with LifePort around 2014; it was easy to use and facilitated easy cannulation of the kidneys. The pump is a very robust product and always performs very well… We’ve been able to perform more kidney transplants because of LifePort Kidney Transporter. Not only are we using LKT as a preservation device, but since we are able to extend the kidney’s cold ischemia time with LKT, we can now stagger cases. This means we can do living donor and deceased donor kidney transplants the same day without worrying about the kidneys’ viability.”
Erik Ale
TAMPA GENERAL HOSPITAL
“We have been able to pump about 130-140 kidneys a year utilizing LifePort Kidney Transporter and will continue to do so with every kidney that comes our way. We’ve had the pump for three years and our staff is self-taught to clean, assemble, and troubleshoot any issues. The user-friendly design of the pump has enabled rapid adaptation and a seamless transition of the technology. Thanks to LifePort Kidney Transporter we can optimize organ acceptance and utilization, transplanting more patients with excellent graft function… and we didn’t have to add more staff. As a result, we have seen an increase in the number of organs transplanted, faster transplant times, and better volumes of outcomes post-transplant.”
