Their flagship product, the Seraph® 100 Microbind® Affinity Blood Filter, utilizes advanced hemoperfusion technology that employs microbead adsorption media chemically bonded with modified heparin. This design effectively mimics the binding sites that the COVID-19 pathogen utilizes to invade the bloodstream, allowing for the rapid removal of the virus from circulating blood. The Seraph 100 is positioned to serve healthcare providers and institutions engaged in critical care, including hospitals and specialized treatment centers. The product has been authorized for emergency use by the FDA and is primarily marketed within the United States; however, the company is also exploring opportunities in international markets.ExThera Medical's revenue generation is primarily centered around the sales of its Seraph 100 device, which is distributed under an Emergency Use Authorization. The company engages in direct sales to healthcare facilities, ensuring that their products reach critical care teams who require advanced solutions for treating severe infections. Transactions typically involve healthcare providers purchasing the Seraph 100 on a per-unit basis, aligning with their immediate patient care needs. While specific pricing plans for the Seraph 100 are not disclosed, the transaction structure is expected to reflect a straightforward B2B model where hospitals and healthcare systems acquire devices as part of their procurement processes. This model supports the company’s focus on building strong relationships with medical professionals and institutions dedicated to tackling urgent healthcare challenges.ExThera Medical Corporation plans to utilize the recent Series B funding of USD 15.3 mn, raised in June 2016, to support its growth strategy, which includes developing new products and expanding into international markets.
