Nuwellis receives US patent for hemolysis sensor technology in blood filtration

Nuwellis, Inc. (NASDAQ:NUWE), a medical device company with a market capitalization of $3.6 million and current stock price of $3.97, announced Thursday that the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued U.S. Patent No. 12,415,021 on September 16. The patent covers the use of one or more hemolysis sensors with extracorporeal blood filtration systems, including ultrafiltration therapy and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).

Furthermore, Nuwellis announced FDA clearance for a new size of its Dual Lumen Extended Length Catheter, though specific details on the size were not disclosed.
