Back from #ATC26, kicking off Day 1 of our SORT Symposium! Amazed by the interest in robotic solid organ transplant. Humbled to have true leaders in the field with us — excited to learn from each other and make new connections. #SORT2026 #ATC2026

At Diatiro we asked: What if we could protect the organ until the last stitch? We’ll share our answer in August at World Transplant Congress. Stay tuned.
KidneyPod™ has received Breakthrough Device Designation. It has not been cleared by the FDA for commercial use. #wtc2025
