Groundbreaking therapy transforms destructive hyperinflammation into healing

Devastating outcomes signal an urgent need for innovative solutions

Therapeutic options for critically ill patients experiencing destructive hyperinflammation have shown limited efficacy. Our Selective Cytopheretic Device (SCD) is a patented cell-directed extracorporeal therapy that works with most continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) systems to selectively target the most highly activated neutrophils and monocytes responsible for this destructive hyperinflammatory response. The SCD therapy won’t just stop the storm but could potentially reverse the damage.

Neutralize toxic neutrophils and transform monocytes

Neutrophils and monocytes are the key immune cells that play a prominent role in life-threatening hyperinflammation.

The novel SCD technology targets and neutralizes activated neutrophils, providing a new therapeutic approach to this problem.

By restoring reparative physiology, the SCD can help the body heal—potentially reducing mortality, eliminating dialysis dependency and getting patients out of the ICU faster so they can return to their loved ones and daily lives.

Currently, drug treatments for a cytokine storm may differ based on the specific disorder associated with it, and these treatments may not deliver the results your patients need.

Because the SCD is a cell-directed extracorporeal therapy that uses the body’s immune system to heal. You’re in complete control of an effective therapy that can be used without the worry of severe contraindications.

An evidence-based breakthrough

SeaStar Medical has been granted Breakthrough Device Designations by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for six different indications related to the treatment of destructive hyperinflammation. The designation is designed to provide timely access to medical devices to speed up development, assessment, and review for FDA approval. SCD therapy was approved in 2024 in pediatric AKI due to sepsis and is currently being investigated in adult AKI and other conditions.

There are very few therapeutic options available to treat pediatric AKI…these positive [study] results suggest a favorable benefit to risk ratio in the critically ill pediatric population.

Easy to incorporate into the ICU workflow and treatment paradigm

The SCD therapy can be easily added to extracorporeal therapies, such as dialysis or continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), seamlessly fitting into your workflow. It has been used with other treatments, including IL-6 blockers, corticosteroids and other common treatments, with no or few known contraindications.

By giving critically ill patients the potential to eliminate dialysis dependency, get out of the ICU faster, and restore the lives they were so close to losing, the SCD is positioned to become the new standard of care in the ICU.
