About Nephros, Inc.
Nephros, Inc., headquartered in River Edge, New Jersey, is a global medical device company that focuses on the development and commercialization of liquid purification filters that combine a best in class purification to flow rate ratio with filter endurance. Today, Nephros Ultrafilters remove biological contaminants from water and bicarbonate to provide ultrapure water and bicarbonate for use in hemodialysis. Nephros Ultrafilters also purify water in the hospital/healthcare setting particularly at the point of use (i.e. at the end of the faucet or shower head). This approach has been shown to be particularly useful for infection control. Nephros is currently developing its filter technology in individual water purifiers for military applications. The company has also developed an alternative to current hemodialysis therapy known as Mid-dilution hemodiafiltration (MD-HDF). Nephros' unique and proprietary blood purification technologies enable MD-HDF to be offered to chronic renal failure patients.
