Heme Solutions is tackling one of the most urgent global healthcare crises — the chronic shortage of transfusable blood. Worldwide demand exceeds supply by over 120 million units annually, with life-threatening implications for surgery, trauma care, maternal health, and emergency response. Current blood systems are hindered by short shelf life, refrigeration requirements, donor compatibility, high logistics costs, and the persistent risk of infectious disease transmission.
Our patent pending Universal Oxygen Carrier (UOC), is a next-generation hemoglobin–carbohydrate–based polymer (HBOC) engineered to replicate and enhance the oxygen delivery function of red blood cells. UOC is:
- Universally compatible with all blood types — eliminating crossmatching
- Pathogen-free — removing the risk of transfusion-transmitted infections
- Room-temperature stable for up to 5 years — vastly improving logistics and emergency readiness with no cold storage needed.
- Proven safe in preclinical trials — with no observed adverse effects
- Highly scalable and cost-effective — enabling global deployment
Unlike donated blood, UOC can be stockpiled anywhere, deployed rapidly in disaster zones, and used in both civilian and military medicine. It has demonstrated the ability to deliver oxygen through constricted or blocked vessels, making it uniquely valuable for trauma, ischemic events (such as stroke and heart attack), and surgical applications.
With 35+ years of research and extensive animal studies.
