Welcome to Vitasang. We are launching Rejuvesol™, the only FDA-authorised technology to rejuvenate old, stored blood.
Hello and welcome to Vitasang. Vitasang is a new US/UK lifesciences company
focused on manufacturing a revolutionary blood rejuvenation solution called
Rejuvesol which Vitasang has agreed to acquire from a major US healthcare
group.
Blood rapidly decays upon storage and there is currently no other rejuvenation
solution that can be used to extend its shelf life. Old blood (> 9 days old)
begins to collect changes to red blood cells (RBCs) that negatively affective
their ability to facilitate blood flow and deliver oxygen (called a “storage
lesion”), leading to the generation of harmful waste products and increasing
morbidity.
Rejuvesol is the only FDA-approved product to rejuvenate stored RBCs and
the only
current technology capable of modifying RBC quality after exhibiting a storage
lesion.
The potential market for Vitasang is enormous, with end users including
hospitals, blood banks and the military. Added to this, Rejveusol has no active
competitor. Therefore, just considering the 56% of blood in blood banks older
than 14 days, translates to a $15.4 Billion market per year not yet being
serviced.

Rejuvesol is the only FDA-approved product to rejuvenate stored red cells and the only current technology capable of modifying red cell quality after RBCs exhibit a Storage Lesion. Rejuvesol improves the ability of RBCs to off load oxygen and traverse through small vascular structures. This is accomplished by restoring levels of 2-3 DPG and ATP to levels in fresh blood or higher in the stored cells. When compared with blood >10 days old, in cardiac and orthopedic surgeries, Rejuvesol is shown to reduce hospital length of stay by 15%, reduce infection rate by 30%, and reduce RBC utilisation by 25%.
