Evidence

Evidence is the most important factor for developing and manufacturing perfusion devices. Therefore the development of our devices has always been based on a good an broad range of research project. XVIVO is always working on  improvement of our evidence based machine perfusion technology. We have made a selection of available and published literature below. Note that the literature links are categorized in the different organ types. The information contains all different types of applications and temperatures. Be sure you learn everything about it by reviewing the papers.
