Two new medical devices - Efferon CT adsorbers for the treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome and “cytokine storm”, and Efferon LPS adsorbers for the treatment of sepsis and septic shock)

Long text:

How does it work? The patient’s blood is pumped under low pressure through a cylindric-shaped plastic cartridge filled with a polymeric adsorbent with a specific structure. Purified blood returns back to the circulatory system, while the toxic substances firmly bound to the adsorbent are disposed of. Blood purification via direct adsorption was included in the Chinese recommendations for the treatment of Covid-19-associated pneumonia.

Both medical devices are approved for clinical use in Russia by the government.

The absorbers have already been successfully used to treat critical care patients in the Medical Scientific and Educational Center of Lomonosov Moscow State University, Vorokhobov  City Clinical Hospital №67, Pirogov City Clinical Hospital №1, Infectious Сlinical Hospital №2 and many other advanced medical institutions.
