Pentracor GmbH produces and markets CRP-adsorbers for extracorporeal therapeutic lowering of C-reactive protein.
In myocardial infarction and stroke, the C-reactive protein (CRP) leads to an increase of the primary damage.
PentraSorb® CRP is CE marked and reimbursed in Germany. A 40 pt clinical trial demonstrated a significant 30% reduction in infarct size after Acute Myocardial Infarction, increased left ventricular output and lower MACE.
