BALTIMORE, Maryland, 29 October, 2018   – Over the weekend, a hospital in Kenya performed the first successful surgery with the use of Hemafuse. Sisu’s commercial model is to design devices with and for the people that are benefiting from them. We are proud to have created a product that can save many lives. We are not only creating a product, we are creating a successful system for the commercialization of medical devices in emerging markets.

About Sisu Global: Sisu Global is a corporation headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland. We envision a world where medical technology enables access to healthcare in every community. Right now, 80% of the world’s medical devices are designed for 10% of the world’s population. Sisu aims to change this statistic by designing and scaling medical devices made specifically for the global market. Sisu is the manufacturer of goods including the HEMAFUSE™ System. The HEMAFUSE™ is a device that can support the donor blood ecosystem by providing an option for clinicians to salvage and recycle a patient’s own blood in cases of internal bleeding. This immediate access to blood can shorten the wait time to perform surgery, increase hospital efficiency and provide access to blood where there may be no other option.

Sisu Global’s work has received numerous features such as CBS 60 Minutes, USA Today, Smithsonian.com and awards from GE Healthcare, USAID, the Gates Foundation, and many others.
