MONMOUTH JUNCTION, N.J. , Sept. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CytoSorbents Corporation (OTCBB: CTSO), a critical care focused company using blood purification to modulate the immune system, reduce severe inflammation, and fight organ failure caused by life-threatening illnesses such as sepsis, announced that it has become a member and sponsor of the Germany Sepsis Society and a sponsor of the Sepsis Heroes Evening, hosted by the Sepsis Alliance, in honor of the first World Sepsis Day on September 13, 2012 .
Professor Konrad Reinhart , Chairman of the Board of the Global Sepsis Alliance and Founding President of the German Sepsis Society, stated, "We are happy that such innovative young companies are joining our common effort to find a therapy and solutions for this huge medical and societal problem."
Dr. Phillip Chan , Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are proud to support these outstanding organizations and to be part of the global effort to create greater awareness of sepsis – a terrible illness that claims the lives of millions of people across the world each year. Often, sepsis is recognized too late because patients don't know what it is and what to look out for, resulting in uncontrolled inflammation, organ failure and death. This is why increasing public awareness is so important. Faster recognition of sepsis and better therapies can save lives. We hope that CytoSorb®, a blood filter approved in the European Union to reduce cytokines that cause excessive inflammation in sepsis, will help tip the scale towards survival in this major unmet medical need."
