ELSIUS BIOMEDICAL

Elsius is a canadian company based in Calgary that will produce and commercialize worldwide an ECMO system that addresses the shortcomings of current clinical systems which are not optimal for patient recovery and cost containment, ultimately resulting in a higher number of lives saved, shorter hospitalization times and finally lower costs to healthcare systems worldwide. The Elsius system is based on a compact, integrated device design that leverages a proprietary biocompatible coating (EBS) sp... ecifically developed for ECLS (Extra Corporeal Life Support) applications, that in particular reduces the inflammatory response associated with the procedure. The EBS coating is revolutionary in the sense that it’s arguably superior to anything on the market today. Elsius managment has a combined expertise in medical devices start up companies of more than 60 years and it’s headed by Mr. Alessandro Biglioli who is a serial entreprenour with a history of successes (this is his 14th company). He has direct experience in blood oxygenation devices and how to develop, certify, produce and sell them.
