Operating Room Supply Pack for Organ Donation

Gift of Life Michigan has developed anew process for set up in the operating room when preparing for an organ donation surgery. In order to increase efficiency and require less time of hospital staff, Gift of Life Michigan will bring an assembled sterilized supply pack to the Operating Room or Surgical Suite.

This Operating Room supply pack is provided to us through Avid Medical and it includes a variety of supplies necessary for an organ donation surgery. You will notice the list does not include any instruments. We will still have the same need for your hospital instruments to complete an organ donation surgery. Thesupply pack component detail is provided for your review. Please note that this package is sterile, disposable and for single use only.

For more information on the Operating Room supply pack, please contact your hospital development associate or call 1-800-482-4881.

Gift of Life Surgical Center

For more than a decade, Gift of Life Michigan has transported tissue donors from southeast Michigan hospitals to our Surgical Center at Straith Hospital for tissue recovery and perfusion.

Having one facility has eased the demand on Detroit-area medical centers for staff, space and equipment required to do our specialty work. It also has allowed Gift of Life the opportunity to work in a consistent surgical environment, which has reduced variation in our procedures, improved quality and lowered contamination and discard rates.

Because of this, Gift of Life Michigan has begun to transfer organ donors from other Michigan hospitals to our Surgical Center for organ and tissue donation. We’re doing this on a case-by-case basis and will consider moving donors based on meeting the family’s needs, operating room availability and the availability of personnel to perform the recovery.

We believe that moving organ and tissue donors, when possible, benefits the donor hospital, donor family and ultimately will provide the best quality outcomes and help the thousands of organ and tissue recipients worldwide lead healthier, better lives.

Benefits to the Donor Hospital

  • Eliminates moving scheduled surgeries for donor cases
  • Allows the ICU bed to become available sooner for incoming patients
  • Gift of Life Michigan handles the release and delivery of the body to the funeral home

Benefits to the Donor Family

  • Decreases time from consent to completion of surgical recovery
  • Body will be released and delivered to funeral home in a timely manner

Benefits to the Transplant Recipients

  • Decreases transport time from donation surgical center to transplant center
  • Decreases cold ischemia time
  • Better organ function immediately following transplant
  • Decreases variability results and better surgical outcome
