The perfusion bridge between OPO recovery and transplant outcomes
The perfusion-led, device-agnostic partner built into your DCD/NRP operations. We don't just staff your cases — we align clinical execution, hemodynamic monitoring, and metabolic assessment to hit high-yield organ recovery standards. By toggling both sides of the transplant line — OPO and Transplant Center — we bridge the gap between donor recovery and successful transplantation.
Perfusion is what we do.
As NRP becomes the national standard for DCD recovery, the OPOs positioned to lead are those with expert, dedicated perfusion support built into their operational DNA. Perfusalife exists to be that partner: perfusion-led, device-agnostic, and structured for the complex, high-stakes demands of modern procurement.
Perfusalife Solutions provides perfusion-led support for Normothermic Regional Perfusion and transplant programs, focused on consistency, reliability, and thoughtful integration into existing clinical workflows.
Our team of board-certified clinical perfusionists works collaboratively with transplant centers and OPOs to support organ recovery through standardized, high-quality perfusion services.
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, our founding collective brings decades of combined clinical perfusion experience across major academic and transplant centers — including UCSF, Stanford Health Care, UC Davis, and the Cleveland Clinic.

The clinical bridge between recovery and transplant.
High-yield recovery requires precision at the intersection of OPO and Transplant Center protocols. Perfusalife provides the clinical bridge — leveraging benchmarking against international standards to ensure organ quality meets transplant-readiness requirements.
We are the critical partner in ensuring the integrity of the graft from the moment of DCD recovery through to the operating table — maximizing utilization and improving long-term patient outcomes.
