Company Summary

Many unsolved clinical needs involve disorders of the lymphatic system. AIDS, heart failure, and sepsis are all examples of critical conditions in which lymphatic cells or fluid play a key role. Until now direct access to lymphatic system has required a complicated surgical approach. Lymph/Axis has developed a minimally invasive method to access and manipulate lymphatic fluid using ultrasound imaging and a disposable catheter.
