A new liver perfusion technology is being introduced to support organ transplant care in South Africa. The device has been unveiled at the Wits Donald Gordon Medical Centre (WDGMC), where clinicians and researchers say it has the potential to improve how donor livers are preserved and prepared for transplantation. Liver perfusion machines are designed to circulate fluids through an organ outside the body, which can help maintain tissue viability during the time between organ retrieval and transplantation. According to the report, the technology is expected to contribute to more effective transplant processes and broaden the possibilities for using donor livers. The coverage frames the launch as a significant step toward refining transplant care, though it does not provide detailed results such as clinical trial outcomes, measured improvements in patient survival, or specific implementation timelines. The announcement focuses on the device’s prospective role in strengthening transplant services at the medical centre and beyond, as transplant teams evaluate its performance and integration into existing pathways.
