The blood of coronavirus patients was purified using a filter filled with beads that act like a sponge.
Made in the USA, CytoSorb purifies patients' blood and removes potentially toxic compounds. The holes in the balls trap harmful cytokines in the blood, and smaller and beneficial particles such as antibodies are filtered out.
Thanks to the device, more than 200 people in 30 countries around the world have recovered from COVID-19.
