Belzer UW® - Cold Storage Solution for Organ Preservation
The Belzer UW® Cold Storage Solution is a sterile, non-pyrogenic liquid designed for the preservation of abdominal organs. This solution is intended for the flushing and cold storage of kidney, liver, and pancreas organs immediately after their removal from donors. Made in the USA, Belzer UW® has become a cornerstone in organ transplantation due to its reliable formulation that allows room temperature storage, eliminating refrigeration challenges associated with similar solutions like ViaSpan®. It is supplied in high-quality, aseptically manufactured bags with peelable barcode stickers to minimize errors and time delays during critical situations. With FDA 510(k) clearance, the solution offers expanded labeling for its use across all abdominal organs. Bridge to Life™ holds the exclusive trademark license from the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation for the Belzer UW® brand, reinforcing its commitment to the transplant community through solid supply agreements and minimum inventory levels to avoid shortages.
