Expanding Transplant Access with NextGen Organ Preservation Technology

Founded in Texas in 2016, VPS’ mission is to improve transplant access and outcomes through the development of next-generation organ preservation technology.

Our lead platform, VP.S ENCORE®, is a simple, portable, hypothermic oxygenated perfusion system. It’s designed to increase donor heart utilization while reducing the complexity and cost associated with current technologies.

VP.S ENCORE® is designed to address the needs of extended criteria, donation after circulatory death, and pediatric donors.

Advancing the Future of Organ Transplants

We collaborate closely with transplant surgeons, OPOs, and medical institutions to ensure that our technology meets the realities of clinical use.

Our recent collaborations include the University of Nebraska Medical Center, the Wyss Institute, Duke University, and the San Antonio Medical Foundation, among others.
