Miromatrix Medical Inc. Information

What we know: - Currently, 106,000 people in the U.S. are on the waitlist for a life-saving organ transplant. - 60% of patients on the waitlist will not receive the organ they need. - 17 people in the U.S. die each day due to the lack of available organs. What we’re doing: Miromatrix Medical was founded with the mission to eliminate the transplant waitlist. Headquartered in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, we bioengineer organs through our patented perfusion decellularization and recellularization technology. We take what nature designed -- a fully functioning liver or kidney -- and with our patented technology, remove all of the cells from discarded pig organs. What’s left is a ‘scaffold’; all of the organ’s natural design and architecture remains. Then, from the inside out, we seed new, living human cells back into the organ -- ultimately creating completely functional, transplantable organs with the potential to save thousands of lives every year.
