The Hemopurifier® is a first-in-class medical device that provides rapid real-time clearance of circulating HCV as well as immunosuppressive proteins shed by the virus.  The goal of therapy is to improve benefit, dose, duration and tolerability of current and future drug therapies without introducing drug toxicity and interaction risks.  Included among the Hemopurifier® treatment opportunities in HCV are the estimated 300,000 infected dialysis patients that currently live with the virus.  As a result of their health-compromised end-stage renal condition, dialysis patients are often unable to tolerate HCV drug therapy dosing and duration, resulting in suboptimal treatment outcomes.
