Currently, there are 340,000 patients in Japan undergoing hemodialysis treatment.

​

In addition, an "arteriovenous shunt" is surgically created on your arm,

By purifying the blood through an external device, it takes the place of the kidneys,

There are 300,000 patients undergoing dialysis.

​

Shunts are recommended for patients with severely compromised kidney function.

It is, so to speak, a "lifeline".

​

However, the shunt has a problem of "stenosis",

About 180,000 treatments are needed each year.

​

If "stenosis" occurs, the blood cannot be purified and there is a danger of life.

Patients and healthcare professionals alike are under pressure every day to manage their risks.

​

The new device we are developing aims to reduce such stenosis.

​

​ Contributes to medical care by reducing stenosis and reducing the burden on patients and healthcare professionals associated with stenosis.
