The LifeCradle preserves, monitors and transports hearts used in transplantation and will replace the picnic cooler currently used. The LifeCradle has been proven in published research at leading academic research centers to significantly extend the life of procured hearts from 4 to 24 hours. Over seventy percent of donated hearts are NOT transplanted in many cases because of a lack of preservation time in the picnic cooler...the LifeCradle will save lives and improve transplant outcomes.
