VORTX, which is currently under development, is anticipated to enhance haemodynamic performance and minimise oxygenator failure.

According to the company, the existing blood oxygenator market relies on hollow fibre membrane technology, which has been linked to medical complications including device failure, coagulation and haemolysis.

These issues pose risks and have an impact on patient outcomes.

Inspira is developing a new blood oxygenator to function as an independent stand-alone disposable unit.
