TransMedics Closes Strategic Investment in PAD Aviation
TransMedic announced the closing of its strategic investment in PAD Aviation, a Germany-based private aviation operator. The investment in PAD Aviation is a "critical step forward" for TransMedics' ongoing efforts to replicate the OCS NOP model in Europe to expand the adoption of the OCS perfusion technology and establish a dedicated pan-European organ transplant air and ground logistics network to support transplant activities across the European Union. "We are thrilled to partner with the PAD Aviation team and to welcome them to our TransMedics family. Together, we can create a significant opportunity to increase the utilization of precious donor organs to save more European transplant patients," said Waleed Hassanein, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of TransMedics.
