Roivios® and its’ wholly owned R&D subsidiary, 3ive Labs, LLC, are clinical-stage medical device companies striving to sustain or enhance kidney function during time of acute stress.
We’re initially focused on providing a first-to-market solution to sustain or enhance kidney function for patients with impaired kidney function during a cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.
Renal Insufficiency Meets Stress
- 25% of cardiac surgery patients have renal insufficiency1-4
- All cardiac surgery patients experience renal stress
- Up to 73% of patients with pre-existing Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) develop AKI5
Poor Outcomes for Patients With Renal Impairment
When the kidneys fail, the patient fails.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with CKD has significant impact on patients and care systems.
*Compared to patients with normal eGFR, patients with CKD 4 (<30) have 55x the incidence of dialysis (10.9% vs 0.2%).
Supercharging the kidneys
At Roivios, we believe enhancing the natural intra-renal pressures with mild, targeted negative pressure will enable optimal kidney function and improve patient outcomes.
And, we’re on a mission to prove it.
