CytoStorm, INC
Helping Doctors Save Thousands Of Lives Of Overdosed Patients With Fentanyl, Vicodin, Oxycodone, Tylenol And Methamphetamine.
how do we do it? WE detoxifY THE blooD OF OVERDOSED PEOPLE
The number of drug overdoses has increased six-fold, since the year 2000. Over 100,000 people die from drug overdoses every year in the U.S. While the use of Narcan and Opvee have made it possible for more people to make it to a hospital, people continue dyeing at a faster rate than before. To save lives, the Inflex System – a patented extracorporeal blood detoxification process - was invented. The Inflex System removes by adsorption drugs and toxins quickly and efficiently from a patient’s bloodstream. The drugs that can be removed from patients include Fentanyl, Oxycodone (OxyContin), Vicodin, acetaminophen (Tylenol), and Methamphetamine. Indeed, independent laboratory tests have verified that the Inflex System removes ±95% of the lethal doses of opioids in only 90 minutes as well of methamphetamine in only 3 hours.
ADDITIONAL TREATABLE CONDITIONS WITH THE CYTOSTORM SOLUTION
The CytoStorm Inflex System can potentially treat diverse conditions including H1N1, influenza, liver coma, sepsis, sickle cell anemia, and be used also as a bridge to liver transplant as independent laboratory studies have demonstrated that the Inflex System removes cytokines and toxins effectively and efficiently.
