Mária Szucsné Pompor, Managing Director of Medial Ltd. stated, "We are very proud to have already successfully introduced CytoSorb®, the innovative and promising treatment for patients with a systemic inflammatory response syndrome, severe sepsis or septic shock, in Hungary. In our significant clinical experience so far, the adjuvant use of CytoSorb® extracorporeal therapy has been used to help control the excessive inflammatory response, remove certain bacterial toxins, and protect otherwise healthy organs in life-threatening illnesses. These positive clinical experiences obtained in the Hungarian University Clinics and major hospitals support our belief that CytoSorb® adjuvant therapy can efficiently and safely attenuate severe cytokine storm in cardiac surgery and in the ICU, promoting improved clinical outcomes and helping patients to survive."

Pavel Bohdal, Chief Executive Officer of Meditrade Ltd. remarked, "We are excited to continue our cooperation with CytoSorbents because CytoSorb® represents one of the newest therapeutic innovations in critical care and cardiac surgery, two areas that we specialize in. We have watched the rapid growth of CytoSorb® in many different countries and are pleased to be able to bring this revolutionary product to help patients in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Poland. We have seen the therapy work in the hands of our own physicians, giving us great confidence about the impact it will have on healthcare in the future."

"Medial and Meditrade are long-standing pioneers of novel medical therapies in their respective countries with excellent reputations, and we are delighted to be working with them," commented Dr. Phillip Chan, Chief Executive Officer of CytoSorbents. "This is yet another step in our long-standing commitment to make CytoSorb® available to clinicians to help treat their patients globally."
