Commercializing PEG-20k
Perfusion Medical is commercializing PEG-20k, a breakthrough IV solution for restoration of tissue perfusion invented at the Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) School of Medicine. PEG-20k shows potential to be a disruptive solution for addressing severe blood loss (hemorrhagic shock) and related medical conditions.

How it works
The major mechanism of action of PEG-20k IV solution in treating severe hypovolemic shock is to increase tissue perfusion to facilitate rapid transfer of oxygen into oxygen starved tissues and organs. This is accomplished by reversing the metabolic cell and tissue swelling that occurs during shock, which causes no reflow by capillary compression.
