Devices, systems, and methods reduce levels of pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory stimulators or mediators in blood by selective adsorption. The devices, systems, and methods are useful in situations where abnormal levels of or unregulated or excessive interaction among pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory stimulators or mediators occur, or during events that do induce or have the potential for inducing abnormal production of pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory stimulators or mediators. The devices, systems, and methods serve to prevent, control, reduce, or alleviate the severity of the inflammatory response and disease states that are associated with abnormal levels of or unregulated or excessive interaction among pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory stimulators or mediators.
A blood processing system comprising an extracorporeal apparatus to receive the blood drawn from an individual and to conduct separation of the blood into plasma and at least one cellular blood component, and a device communicating with the extracorporeal apparatus to remove cytokines or other species of pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory stimulators or mediators from either plasma, or the at least one cellular blood component, or both.
A blood processing system comprising an extracorporeal apparatus to receive the blood drawn from an individual and to conduct separation of the blood into plasma and at least one cellular blood component, and a device communicating with the extracorporeal apparatus to remove from either plasma, or the at least one cellular blood component, or both, cytokines or other species of pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory stimulators or mediators that are generated as a result of the separation of the blood.
A blood processing system comprising an extracorporeal apparatus to oxygenate the blood drawn from an individual and return the oxygenated blood to the individual, and a device communicating with the apparatus to remove cytokines or other species of pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory stimulators or mediators from the oxygenated blood.
A blood processing system comprising an extracorporeal apparatus to oxygenate the blood drawn from an individual and return the oxygenated blood to the individual, and a device communicating with the apparatus to remove from the oxygenated blood cytokines or other species of pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory stimulators or mediators that are generated as a result of extracorporeal processing.
A blood processing system comprising an extracorporeal apparatus to remove waste from the blood drawn from an individual and return waste-depleted blood to the individual, and a device communicating with the apparatus to remove from the waste-depleted blood cytokines or other species of pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory stimulators or mediators that are generated as a result of extracorporeal processing.
