CytoStorm developed the Inflex System™, a novel blood-purification device, designed to rapidly remove drugs, toxins, and inflammatory mediators in the ER and ICU that cause thousands of deaths annually.
The Inflex System™ is a unique 2-column design system, combining high-capacity adsorption with hemocompatibility, ensuring efficient detoxification while preserving essential blood components.
Opioid overdose remains one of the leading causes of preventable death worldwide, while liver coma and cytokine storms (e.g., in sepsis or viral infections) represent major challenges in critical care.
These conditions lead to rapid deterioration, often overwhelming current intensive care approaches.
There is a lack of fast, targeted solutions capable of detoxifying blood in real time.
Today, interventions are often limited and reactive:
Drug overdose is treated with naloxone (Narcan®), which restores breathing but does not remove circulating opioids or metabolites.
Patients with liver coma (also known as hepatic encephalopathy) rely on treatments such as lactulose, rifaximin, or ultimately liver transplantation, approaches that are slow, inconsistent, and resource-intensive.
Sepsis is managed with broad immunosuppressive therapies, which lack precision and carry significant risks.
These options are delayed, invasive, or insufficient, leaving a dangerous therapeutic gap in the emergency setting.
