Suspended AnimationBoynton Beach, FLSuspended Animation (SA) was established in 2002 in South Florida as a for-profit corporation with the goal of providing the best possible standby, stabilization, and vitrification procedures for members of cryonics organizations. The founders believed that if the company did not seek members or provide patient storage, it would be better able to focus on research and development work. Also, if Suspended Animation assisted other organizations instead of attempting to compete with them, cryonics generally would benefit.
Suspended Animation is the only company focusing primarily on research and development work in standby, stabilization, vitrification, and transport procedures for cryonics patients.
Destructive biochemical processes that begin after cardiac arrest may be more difficult to reverse than any other form of cellular damage. To attempt to prevent these processes, immediate treatment of cryonics patients is critically important. By positioning personnel, medications, and equipment at the bedside before death is pronounced, Suspended Animation maximizes the possibility of preventing biochemical injury.
Suspended Animation's stabilization procedures are applied only to patients who have made arrangements for subsequent cryopreservation at cryonics facilities. Suspended Animation itself does not provide cryogenic storage of any kind.
