United developed a medicine to save her life and then turned its attention to xenotransplantion, which uses the hearts and kidneys of genetically-modified pigs in human transplantation, and regenerative medicine, which includes creating pig lung scaffolds that can be populated with cells to make an organ. Unither Bioélectronique parent company United Therapeutics has been determined to slash that wait-list since the firm was started by Sirius Satellite Radio co-founder Martine Rothblatt in 1996, after her daughter was diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension. Last year, 2,622 Canadians received transplants, 4,129 were on waiting lists and 276 died before an organ came available. While drone transport for organs may seem like a lofty ambition, doctors and businesses believe technology is crucial to improve outcomes for Canadians with organ diseases. That didn’t go very far, but it really opened the door to what airplane travel is today,” Dr. “It’s very much like the first airplane flight. Since then, MissionGo and Nevada Donor Network sent corneas on a five-minute flight and a kidney on a 25-minute journey and in May, a pancreas took to Minnesota’s skies. The first to complete the feat was the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore, when a drone-delivered kidney was transplanted in 2019. bioengineering firm Unither Bioélectronique believe the trip was the first time lungs have taken flight using an unmanned drone, but they are convinced the method will become the norm as a race to get organs in the sky heats up.

“I certainly did breathe a sigh of relief, when it landed and I was able to … see that everything was okay.” “To see it come over the tall buildings was a very exciting moment,” Dr.
