Revolutionizing Care, One Beat at a Time
Through a complete reimagining of extracorporeal life support, we are transforming the landscape of critical care medicine. Our therapy provides optimal safety, easy operation, and unprecedented mobility for full heart-lung support.
Technology
Our therapy focuses on safety of the patient above all else. With a completely redesigned bio-inspired pump and maximally efficient oxygenator, our ECMO system offers advanced heart-lung support with a significant improvement in biocompatibility and a reduction in thrombocyte activation.
-
The oxygenator has been redesigned to maximize washout, reducing coagulation risk, and optimize gas exchange efficiency.
-
The bio-inspired positive displacement pump produces lower shear stress, reducing coagulation risk. Additionally, the pulsatile nature of the pumping mechanism reduces stagnant flow areas, further reducing coagulation risk.
-
Both pump and gas transfer are operated completely by gas pressure. This allows for a highly mobile and compact system for cardiopulmonary support wherever it is needed.
