Cytosorbents Corporation specializes in creating and bringing to market innovative medical devices. Their core expertise lies in a unique blood purification platform, built upon a proprietary adsorbent and porous polymer technology. The company's leading product, CytoSorb, is an extracorporeal filter designed to remove cytokines from the blood. It serves as a complementary treatment in various critical care scenarios, including sepsis, managing complications during and after heart bypass surgery, and improving the viability of donor organs for transplantation. Beyond CytoSorb, Cytosorbents offers a portfolio of specialized devices. These include VetResQ, used to assist in treating critical conditions like sepsis and pancreatitis in animals; CytoSorb-XL, another device targeting sepsis and other severe illnesses; HemoDefend, a platform for purifying blood supplies by removing contaminants that cause transfusion reactions and diseases, as well as anti-A and anti-B antibodies from blood products; K+ontrol, designed for patients with severe, life-threatening hyperkalemia; and ContrastSorb, which extracts intravenous contrast agents following imaging procedures (like CT scans, angiograms, or interventional radiology) to mitigate the risk of contrast-induced kidney damage. The company is also actively developing several new solutions: BetaSorb, aimed at preventing and treating complications from metabolic toxin buildup in chronic kidney disease patients; DrugSorb, which focuses on eliminating harmful chemicals from the bloodstream; and DrugSorb-ATR, an innovative system for removing antithrombotic agents.

SeaStar Medical Holding Corporation is a medical device company dedicated to providing innovative solutions and services designed to combat hyperinflammation and cytokine storm in critically ill individuals. The company specializes in developing and commercializing extracorporeal therapies that specifically target the immune 'effector cells' responsible for driving systemic inflammation, a process that directly harms tissues and releases a cascade of pro-inflammatory cytokines, thereby initiating and perpetuating dysregulated immune reactions. Its product pipeline spans various critical care areas, including acute kidney injury (both pediatric and adult) requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), cardiorenal syndrome in patients with congestive heart failure (including those with or without LVADs), myocardial stunning in end-stage renal disease, and hepatorenal syndrome. The firm maintains its headquarters in Denver, Colorado.
