Magnetic blood filtration

Imagine a world where doctors are able to target and remove infected cells, pathogens, toxins, or even viruses directly from a patient’s bloodstream. The ability to precisely extract unwanted disease causing substances in this way would revolutionise the treatment of deadly blood-borne diseases, benefiting patients and clinicians around the world. That is MediSieve’s vision for the future of healthcare, and it can be achieved through the process of magnetic blood filtration.

Treatment

Malaria

The statistics attributed to Malaria are profoundly bleak. Of the six million Malaria sufferers who are hospitalised every year, 120,000 will die. Including out of hospital mortality, one child dies every two minutes from this mosquito-borne disease.

Leukaemia

Leukaemia is a cancer of the bone marrow where white blood cells (WBC) are produced. When a person has Leukaemia, the bone marrow produces a lot of abnormal and immature WBCs, or “blasts”, which multiply rapidly, and are incapable of contributing to immune function.

Sepsis

Sepsis is one of the leading causes of death in the developed world, with more than 420,000 deaths between the EU and United States annually. Despite decades of research aimed towards improving treatment, success has been minimal and better treatments are needed as a matter of urgency.

The Technology

Our technology circulates a patient’s blood outside their body, similar to a dialysis blood loop, in order to capture and remove specific disease-causing agents. ...

Early Testing

MediSieve is developing two core products which includes magnetic particles and a magnetic filter and magnet

Market Opportunities

Direct removal of the causative agents offers a new treatment modality for Sepsis, Leukaemia and Malaria

MediSieve Particles

The Medisieve Particles are biocompatible magnetic particles (MP) coated with binding agents that enable them to attach to specific targets. The particle size, magnetic properties and number of binding agents are all engineered to maximize capture and removal by the Filter.

MediSieve Filter and Magnet

The heart of the system is the MediSieve Filter and Magnet. The MediSieve Filter is a single-use, disposable magnetic filter which captures and retains magnetic components; the same filter can be used for all applications.
