CytoSorbents Corporation (CTSO)

Everything that orangecat stated can be proved, paulsby. "CytoSorb-XL is a new, state-of-the-art porous polymer bead technology that combines lipopolysaccharide (LPS) endotoxin removal with the robust cytokine, toxin, and inflammatory mediator reduction achieved by CytoSorb®. CytoSorb-XL and its novel endotoxin binding chemistry is the subject of a broad composition of matter patent application, intended to protect the technology worldwide for the next two decades.In a head-to-head comparison with the leading endotoxin adsorber, Toraymyxin™ (Toray, Japan), CytoSorb-XL matched the level of endotoxin reduction in an in vitro plasma recirculation system on a comparable volume basis. CytoSorb-XL is expected to eliminate the need for stand-alone endotoxin specific filters by offering superior performance in the removal of not just endotoxin, but a much broader array of inflammatory mediators that drive uncontrolled deadly inflammation, organ failure, and death in sepsis."

Cytosorb XL basically knocked Spectal out of the water when it was announced. Oh yes, you pushed Spectral on this board hard for years, now it is 39 cents. The main point on Cytosorb XL is that it pushes out the patents another 20 years while you used to whine that our patents were going to expire. Oh yes, as far as I know, you dont' own any CTSO, you are waiting to buy in at $3.40 or so.
