ERA-EDTA 2017 Madrid symposium review

In the lunch symposium entitled: “New biocompatible haemodiafiltration (HDF) membrane to enable maximum substitution for sensitive patients”, held during the EDTA 2017, Nipro introduced their new semi-natural asymmetric membrane, SOLACEA. The SOLACEA is a membrane, well equipped to perform high volume convective therapies, like high volume online HDF, while maintaining the good biocompatible characteristics to treat sensitive patients.

In this symposium, Prof. R. Selgas introduced the reason for the need of good alternative membranes for sensitive patients. However at this moment, most of these alternative membranes on the market are not capable to sustain high convective therapies (> 20 l/session). The new SOLACEA membrane is ideal for high volume HDF without major albumin losses, as highlighted by one of the key opinion leaders in the field of high volume HDF, Dr. F. Maduell. The excellent biocompatibility of the SOLACEA was addressed by the key opinion leader, Dr. T. Tomo, who showed that the SOLACEA induced the lowest amount of micro-inflammation in high volume HDF therapy. Combined, these talks emphasize the added value of the SOLACEA on the current dialyzer market.

Research & Development

The Nipro Group promotes research and development of both medical equipment and pharmaceutical products.

Our research and development focuses on cutting-edge technologies as well as trying to achieve higher quality and improved functionality with our existing products. We expect to commercialize one of our cutting-edge products, namely our nerve regeneration-assisting device, which uses our unique bio-absorbable materials, developed in-house.

We have come close to developing a cell-culturing system thanks to our studies of stem cells in umbilical blood.

In terms of artificial organs, our range of implanted ventricular-assist devices, developed in cooperation with an American company, are currently at the clinical testing stage in Japan.

With regard to the development of new drugs and new formulation technologies, further to the commercialization of our powdered dialysis solutions based on a new and highly effective granulation technology, we plan to be the first company to commercialize a double-bag product for hemodiafiltration substitution fluids as well as selling various products such as pre-filled syringes for safety use, thereby contributing to the prevention of medical accidents.

In this consolidated accounting year, the total cost of R&D activity was 4.8 billion yen (US$ 52.1 million).
