Camouflage™ Coating for ECMO and Perfusion Devices
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is a critical life support technique for patients with severe heart and/or lung problems, particularly in cases where conventional therapies have failed. The ECMO system temporarily takes over the function of the heart and lungs by oxygenating blood outside the body. Despite its life-saving capabilities, ECMO carries the risk of blood clot formation.
Smart Reactors’ Camouflage™ coating addresses these risks by providing a hemocompatible surface for ECMO and CPB (cardiopulmonary bypass) devices. This advanced coating significantly reduces the likelihood of clotting and enhances the long-term hemocompatibility of these devices, ensuring safer and more effective treatment for patients.
Camouflage™ coating is specifically designed for application on perfusion devices, including oxygenators, tubing, and cannulas used in ECMO. Its unique properties not only reduce clot formation but also support various endothelial cell assays with simple readouts, mimicking both endothelial and non-endothelial cell interactions that contribute to disease pathology.
By integrating Camouflage™ coating into perfusion devices, healthcare providers can improve patient outcomes and extend the functional lifespan of critical care equipment.
