Patients with end-stage renal disease on haemodialysis are at increased mortality risk compared to the general population.<\/p>\n<p>Conventional haemodialysis is effective at removing small toxins, such as urea, but is ineffective at removing a class of uremic toxins known as large middle molecules. Large middle molecules may affect a range of biological functions, including inflammation, secondary immunodeficiency and cardiovascular (heart disease) risk.<\/p>\n<p>Theranova is an innovative dialyser.\u00a0 It more closely mimics the natural kidney compared with other dialysis membranes. Theranova extends the range of toxins that can be filtered from the blood during haemodialysis for the first time without significant albumin loss. Once these toxins have been effectively removed, the patient is at less risk of infections and hospitalisation.<\/p>\n<p>This technology is unique in New Zealand and global markets.\u00a0 The therapy is designed to work with most haemodialysis machines.\u00a0 This allows clinics to offer HDx therapy using existing resources and staff.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMTANZ believes these awards, which are open to both imported and locally developed medical technology, show the tremendous innovation in the NZ health technology market. Innovation is so essential to deliver better outcomes for patients and improve efficiencies in the NZ healthcare system,\u201d says MTANZ chief executive Faye Sumner, CNZM.<\/p>\n<p>The awards were judged by Anne Kolbe ONZM, Distinguished Professor Peter Hunter ONZM and Professor John Windsor on the product\u2019s significant contribution to improving patient outcomes by enhancing quality of life, as well as evidence of technical excellence and innovation.<\/p>\n<p>The full list of finalists follows:<\/p>\n<p>Medtronic \u2013 MicraTM Transcatheter Pacing System<\/p>\n<p>Philips \u2013 Ilumeo imaging and informatics technology<\/p>\n<p>Philips \u2013 IQon Spectral CT<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-footnotes\"><em>Presenting the MTANZ Innovation Award for 2018 to David Waddell, General Manager NZ Baxter Healthcare (centre) are Jonathan Lucas of James &amp; Wells (left) and Erin Currie, MTANZ Chair.\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>James &amp; Wells wishes to congratulate Baxter Healthcare for winning the James &amp; Wells Medical Technology Association of NZ (MTANZ) Innovation Award for 2018.
