Organ Transport Systems, through its LifeCradle®, aims to directly address the discrepancy between available donor organs and those actually transplanted, by improving the preservation technology. The Medical Advisory Board provides guidance and recommendations for interacting with all the parties of the cardiac transplant community and providing insights into the donor organ procurement process and how the LifeCradle® should fit seamlessly into that process. OTS selected the MAB after evaluating their experience and passion for improving the donor organ procurement process and their willingness to share and be a part of the OTS team. Dr. Bob Kormos says that, "The OTS donor heart preservation technology incorporated in the LifeCradle® is based on very sound scientific research and is the best documented research for any donor heart preservation technology to date."

Organ Transport System's Executive Vice President Dr. Tom Franklin says, "OTS is very fortunate to have access to the experiences and wisdom of internationally renowned, seasoned professionals from the real world of organ transplantation to guide our product development and insertion of the LifeCradle® into the organ procurement and preservation process."
