Summary

This study tests a special silicone jacket that wraps around a donor kidney during transplant surgery to keep it warm. The goal is to see if the jacket is safe to use in different types of kidney transplants. Twenty adult recipients will be enrolled, and the study will track any serious side effects linked to the device within 30 days after surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Kidney Protective Jacket (a thermal insulating silicone device)
What this could lead to: If successful, this device could help protect donor kidneys during transplant surgery, potentially reducing complications like delayed graft function.
What could go wrong: This is a very small early safety study with only 20 participants, so it cannot prove the device improves outcomes. There is also a risk of allergic reaction to silicone.
