Enhanced Albumin is the Key
Liver disease accounts for approximately 2 million deaths per year worldwide with numbers rising over the last decade. The COVID-19 Pandemia will further accelerate the appearance of liver disease due to a worldwide increase of obesity and alcohol use.
Accumulated toxins due to liver failure lead to secondary organ failure & inhibit liver recovery. Many of these toxins are reversibly bound to albumin (ALB) in the blood circulation and cannot be removed by conventional dialysis treatments.
Albutec’s HepalbinTM adsorbents are capable of effectively removing albumin bound toxins through the dialysis membrane. Significant improvements can be demonstrated by laboratory measures including Albumin Binding Capacity (ABiC). This is the decisive change as the all new HepalbinTM Maxicycler has a significant impact on regeneration and survival.
Albutec has taken a disruptive approach by focusing its research and development towards improving albumin adsorbents for liver dialysis treatments. Utilizing customized charcoal adhered to specially designed discs embedded in optimal flow dynamics has led to the development of the HepalbinTM Maxicycler Series - Our new generation of modular adsorbents which create a uniquely effective albumin for detoxification (AlbuniqueTM).
THE HEPALBIN ADSORBENT TECHNOLOGY IS DESIGNED TO PERFORM THREE VITAL FUNCTIONS
The potential of ECAD Therapies
ECAD Systems were once considered a last resort (bridge to transplant). But this is changing as a new generation of clinicians are increasingly utilizing the devices in emerging therapy options for an entirely new range of indications and conditions in patients with acute or acute on chronic liver failure.
These new advances motivated us to reinvent albumin purification bottom-up and to redesign both the adsorbent technology and the tubing. Manufactured in well-known and experienced European facilities, the cutting-edge HepalbinTM MaxiCycler has the potential for a paradigm shift in liver support – from detoxification to regeneration!
