This modulation of the immune response can lead to an improvement of hemodynamics, a reduction in the need for vasopressors and overall to an increased chance for recovery of organ functions and improved patient outcomes. CytoSorb is indicated in various hyperinflammatory states of infectious and non-infectious origin, e.g. after cardiac surgery, in cardiogenic shock, trauma, burns, pancreatitis and infection. So far it has been used safely and well tolerated in more than 27,000 single treatments worldwide. CytoSorb Therapy – REGAIN CONTROL!
