## About

Founded in 2008 and based in Oxford, UK, OrganOx Limited, is a spin-off of University of Oxford, specializing in medical solutions for liver transplantation. In August 2025, Terumo Corporation fully acquired OrganOx Limited from BGF Investment Management, Lauxera Capital Partners, Oxford Technology Management, HealthQuest Capital, Technikos, British Business Bank, and others, for USD 1.5 billion.
OrganOx Limited specializes in innovative solutions for liver transplantation, primarily through its flagship product, the OrganOx metra. This fully automated device enables normothermic liver perfusion, allowing donor livers to be continuously perfused with oxygenated blood, medications, and nutrients at normal body temperature. The metra enhances the functional assessment of donor organs before transplantation, significantly reducing early allograft dysfunction from 30% to 10% compared to traditional static cold storage methods. The product is designed for ease of use and portability, capable of maintaining the donor liver in a functional state for up to 24 hours. OrganOx Limited serves hospitals and transplant centers across the United States and Europe, improving transplantation logistics and patient outcomes through advanced medical technology. 
The company plans to use its proceeds from August 2025 funding to offer organ preservation devices on a global scale.
