It feels like everybody is off the point here. If I may... in my view this is the context and the bigger picture:

1. WHY THE ADSORBER IS A GIFT FOR PATIENTS, SURGEONS AND CLINICS?

The guys from the Asklepios clinics in Germany LOVE the adsorber because of two reasons:

1. it DRASTICALLY improves patient safety
2. it substantially improves the overall throughput times of patients

Throughput times are critical in Europe in terms of profit numbers.

Background: each indication / treatment is reimbursed with a fixed amount called "Fallpauschale" in Germany (flat rate or lump compensation). If you are interested in profits, and Asklepios is quite "famous" for that and aim for ROIs of 12 - 15 %, it is crucial for them to get rid off the patients asap and not lose any time with complications.

I do not know about the US but to my knowledge this should apply to more or less all clinics in Europe: you only make serious money if you keep complications to a minimum and improve throughput times as much as you can.


2. WHY ARE THESE BLOOD THINNERS ABSOLUTE BLOCKBUSTERS FOR ASTRAZENECA AND BAYER?

By far most people around the world tend to mess up their arteries by just eating meat and consuming dairy products (please check out the documentary Game Changers -

- and actually there is a study providing evidence that american kids have a compromised artery function at the age of 3 years thanks to dairy products).

If you mess up your arteries you will pay for that with severe cardiac issues (and a highly increased risk of Alzheimer) later on in your life. The common solution to reduce your cardiac issues and overall stroke risk then is to constantly take blood thinners.

However, the price these people pay for taking blood thinners: in case of any emergency surgery (not only cardiac) the surgeons will be in sweat because of all sort of bleeding issues.

Please note that with either Ticagrelor or Rivaroxaban you should wait AT LEAST 5 days (studies show that 10 - 12 days would be ideal) to not run in increased bleeding risks in surgery. Of course in emergency situations this is not always possible. AND - as we learned above - waiting times respectively messed up throughput times will ruin overall hospital profits.

Is all of this limited to only cardiac surgery? No. The bleeding issue is a topic in all emergency like situation for patients using blood thinners.


3. WHAT ABOUT THE PATENTS RUNNING OUT FOR BAYER AND ASTRAZENECA?

Does not make a difference at all for CTSO. As long as Ticagrelor or Rivaroxaban will be used as blood thinners and as long as CTSO is THE SOLUTION to wash out this stuff in under 2 hours in context of any surgery this will mean:

a. SERIOUS REVENUES for CTSO
b. less sweaty surgeons
c. increased patient safety
d. improved throughput times of patients and higher profits for clinics

This will apply for as long as not all people turn into vegans and stop messing up their arteries and has nothing to do with expiring patents.

THIS IS HUGE!
