What blood purification with hemoadsorption means for you
We specialize in a blood purification method called adsorption that can help reduce blood levels of toxins and other unwanted substances that can cause serious illness. Here is how it works.
Keeping the balance to help prevent damage to the body.
Our bodies are complex and function best when in balance.
Much of this control occurs in the blood, which transports thousands of substances that are required for life. The body regulates the amount of these substances, ensuring they remain within optimal levels, and makes adjustments as needed.
When our bodies are unable to regulate themselves, imbalance and disease can be the result.
This can occur in cases of serious illness such as infections, or due to certain medicines or drugs. It can also happen if organs like our lungs, kidneys, or liver begin to fail. Typically, a combination of these reasons, and even others, can result in life-threatening disease.
When this happens, it is important to address the imbalance as quickly as possible.
Blood purification can be an effective solution to restore balance by actively reducing harmful levels of specific substances in our bloodstream, aiming to prevent damage, and aid in recovery.

This is where CytoSorbents technology comes in.
Through the unique characteristics of our blood purification technology, we aim to remove from blood certain potentially harmful compounds that other therapies such as standard dialysis cannot remove as efficiently. In doing so, our goal is to support restoration of balance, protect the body, prevent or reduce serious complications, and support your doctor in achieving a fast-track recovery for you.
Our blood purification technology
How tiny beads can make a vital difference
Our therapies are based on tiny porous polymer beads, each no larger than a grain of salt. They are compatible with blood and are non-toxic.
These beads have a special internal structure full of tiny holes and channels. When these beads are packed together in our CytoSorb® cartridge, they act like a sponge with a large surface area – comparable to more than seven U.S. football fields or five soccer fields, in a single device. When blood is pumped through our cartridges, this large surface area is designed to bind and remove a broad range of elevated toxins and other harmful substances that traditional blood purification, like dialysis, cannot remove as efficiently.
Being approved for the reduction of certain critical substances is one of the keys to the power of our technology, as many critical substances can be out of balance in life-threatening diseases. Our technology is designed to remove substances of certain size and chemical form that are present in high concentration in blood. Importantly, beneficial substances such as cells, electrolytes, sugars, and antibodies are not prone to removal either due to their size or their physicochemical properties. Excessive levels of certain harmful substances like those that can cause a “cytokine storm” and bacterial toxins, for example, fall into the target spectrum of the device and therefore can be trapped and removed from the blood.
We are there the moment you need us
Should you or a loved one ever face health challenges in critical care, you can rest assured we are there to work with your doctor and healthcare team. We support them with our expertise and technology to help improve the standard of care.
CytoSorbents’ goal is to provide a treatment option with the aim to achieve an optimal outcome for the patient.
