Report Code : CVMI01083 | Published Date : Aug. 1, 2025
Market Overview
Transplant boxes—also known as organ transport systems or preservation containers—are used to store and transport donor organs under optimal thermal and sterile conditions until transplantation. These devices ensure the viability and safety of organs such as kidneys, livers, hearts, and lungs during the critical cold ischemic period. Advances in hypothermic and normothermic perfusion technology, real-time organ monitoring, and regulatory efforts to reduce wastage have driven the development of transplant boxes into sophisticated medical logistics systems.
