I just stumbled on this. It looks like they have a filter specifically designed to remove Cytokines from the blood.


"CytoSorb® is the first specifically approved extracorporeal cytokine adsorber in the European Union, designed to reduce the “fuel to the fire” of deadly inflammation often seen in critically-ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) and those undergoing complex open heart surgery. Specifically, CytoSorb is approved to reduce toxic levels of cytokines, often called a “cytokine storm”, as well as to reduce bilirubin in liver disease, and myoglobin in trauma, from the bloodstream.In doing so, CytoSorb targets the prevention or treatment of one of the most dreaded consequences of an uncontrolled, systemic inflammatory response: the failure of vital organs such as the brain, heart, kidneys and lungs. Multiple organ failure has no effective therapy other than supportive care today, accounting for nearly half of all deaths in the ICU, and remains one of modern medicine’s greatest and most costly unmet medical needs."
