How it works
Device
The IPUD device acts like an implantable bypass of the kidneys.
By induction of controlled hydrostatic pressure gradient protocol, extracellular systemic fluid (not ascites fluid) is drawn via the peritoneal membranes through the flat absorption chamber towards the urinary system. Congestion is prevented with continuous, 24/7, slow drainage of excess isotonic systemic fluids, completely independent of the kidney and not limited to local cavity.
Procedure
The absorption chamber is delivered percutaneously, via single access, a simple procedure, with no need for anchoring or additional tooling. The delivery system enables a quick deployment of the device within the peritoneal cavity.
Single access and simple procedure, with no additional tool nor need for anchoring
At Home
With Paragate system, the patient is continuously treated and monitored by the cloud based management platform. All patients needs to do is to wirelessly recharge the device on a weekly basis.
24/7 Treated
24/7 Connected!
Mechanism of Action
Removal of systemic extracellular fluid is enabled by relying on two known principles
Peripheral Ultrafiltration, which has established application of vacuum instead of chemical pressure gradient
Osmotic
Peritoneal Dialysis
Hydrostatic
Implantable Peritoneal Ultrafiltration
