Blood Filtering devices may be effective at treating certain patients with confirmed COVID-19 by reducing various pathogens, cytokines, and other inflammatory mediators, that is, small active proteins in the bloodstream that control a cell’s immune response by filtering the blood and returning the filtered blood to the patient. The proteins that are removed are typically elevated during infections and can be associated with a “cytokine storm” that may occur in some COVID-19 patients, potentially leading to severe inflammation, rapidly progressive shock, respiratory failure, organ failure and death.
Hemodialysis is a treatment to filter wastes and water from thw blood, as your kidneys did when they were healthy. Hemodialysis helps control blood pressure and balance important minerals, such as potassium, sodium, and calcium, in the blood.
The Global Blood Filters market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Blood Filtering System Could Help Lower The Risk of Death From Inflammatory Infections – Trauma to the body comes in many forms – severe burns, gun shot wounds, liver failure, drug overdose, sepsis – which can be deadly. Treating these types of trauma to the body means people end up in the intensive care unit (ICU).
The overall cost of ICU care in the US has doubled in the past ten years . Sepis is one of the primary cause of death from infection in ICU.However, whether it is a newer innovation in imaging, dialysis therapy, mechanical ventilation or circulatory support, nothing has really moved the needle in terms of improved clinical outcomes. These are mainly supportive care technologies that keep the patient alive until they can recover on their own.
A new product, called Cytosorb hopes to diminish the risk of life-threatening inflammation and keep the immune system intact. The product functions like a regular water filter system.
The cartridge acts like a filter and contains highly bio-compatible, porous polymer beads that can come into contact whole blood without causing any destruction of red blood cells. Each bead, around the size of a grain of salt, contains millions of pores and channels which create a sponge-like reaction to remove inflammatory toxins from blood through pore capture and surface adsorption.
