Custodiol® HTK Solution: Superior Organ Preservation for Transplant Surgery

Custodiol® HTK (Histidine-Tryptophan-Ketoglutarate) Solution is a leading-edge, clinically proven cardioplegic and organ preservation solution used extensively in cardiac surgery and organ transplantation. It provides superior protection to organs during the crucial period between procurement and transplantation, significantly improving the viability and functionality of the transplanted organ.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Enhanced Organ Preservation: Custodiol® HTK's unique formulation offers superior protection against ischemic injury, reducing cellular damage and improving post-transplant organ function. This is achieved through a combination of mechanisms including:
  • Metabolic Modulation: The solution's specific composition supports cellular metabolism during ischemia, minimizing energy depletion and maintaining cellular integrity.
  • Electrolyte Balance: Careful electrolyte balance prevents cellular swelling and maintains optimal ionic homeostasis.
  • Free Radical Scavenging: HTK solution contains components that help neutralize damaging free radicals, limiting oxidative stress on the organ.
  • Improved Reperfusion: Custodiol® HTK facilitates smoother reperfusion upon transplantation, minimizing reperfusion injury.
• Broad Applicability: Custodiol® HTK is applicable across a range of organ preservation needs, including:
  • Cardiac Surgery: Used as a cardioplegic solution for myocardial protection during cardiac procedures.
  • Organ Transplantation: Employed for the preservation of various organs, including hearts, livers, kidneys, lungs, and pancreases.
• Proven Clinical Efficacy: Extensive clinical studies have demonstrated the superior efficacy of Custodiol® HTK compared to other preservation solutions, leading to improved patient outcomes and reduced complications following transplantation. This includes improved graft survival rates and reduced primary graft dysfunction.
• Easy to Use: Custodiol® HTK is available in ready-to-use formulations, simplifying handling and reducing the risk of preparation errors.
• Comprehensive Support: Manufacturers provide comprehensive support and training to ensure proper handling and utilization of the solution, maximizing its effectiveness.

Composition: Custodiol® HTK's precise formulation includes histidine, tryptophan, ketoglutarate, and other carefully balanced electrolytes and buffers designed to optimize cellular protection during ischemia.
