ALung is commercializing the Hemolung Respiratory Assist System (RAS) for the benefit of patients and their caregivers.
The Hemolung is a safe and simple-to-use respiratory assist system that is expected to allow patients in acute respiratory failure to avoid intubation and mechanical ventilation. The Hemolung may also be used as a supplement to mechanical ventilation to shorten the amount of time patients spend on the ventilator and in the ICU. The dialysis-like system effectively supplements lung function through a single, small catheter, removing up 50% of retained carbon dioxide from the blood, while also administering oxygen.
