Device Cleans Blood Using **vel Protein and Common Dialysis Filters to Treat Sepsis
![]() Humanity’s quest to filter Blood in patients with ongoing Sepsis has ** limits. All previous attempts have failed. But here’s an update on the tech**logy we covered last year, when we reported*about a new Device developed at Harvard’s Wyss Institute that Filters pathogens from whole blood. It was designed to fight Sepsis and the underlying tech**logy worked thanks to a proprietary genetically engineered Protein called FcMBL that sticks to all kinds of viruses, fungi, bacteria, as well as the toxins they excrete. Millions of these proteins were attached to magnetic beads and the compounds injected into blood. The Blood is then extracted and passed through a machine that used a magnet to draw the beads along with the FcMBL proteins and any toxins or pathogens on them. **w the team has gotten rid of the idea of injecting the magnetic beads, which makes it considerably safer and easier to get through regulatory approval. Instead, Blood is passed through Filters used in Dialysis machines with the FcMBL Protein attached to the filters. These Filters are already FDA approved for Dialysis and in studies with small animals the tech**logy ******* 99% of E. coli and S. aureus*from whole blood. **w they’ll try it with large animals before trying out on humans. Here’s a Wyss Institute video about the tech**logy: Flashback:*Artificial Biospleen Cleans Blood with Magnets (VIDEO)… Study in journal*Biomaterials: Improved treatment of systemic blood infections using antibiotics with extracorporeal opsonin hemoadsorption… Source: Wyss Institute… The post Device Cleans Blood Using **vel Protein and Common Dialysis Filters to Treat Sepsis appeared first on Medgadget. ??????? ??????: Device Cleans Blood Using **vel Protein and Common Dialysis Filters to Treat Sepsis || ??????: rss || ??????: اسم منتداك
