“Revolutionizing cancer treatment”

German medical device firm races to provide alternative treatments to treat cancer

 

 
Capnomed GmbH is a medical device and pharmaceutical drugs supplier specializing in oncology. The medical devices are supplied to most parts of the world, with several pharma candidates in clinical phases. The treatment called PIPAC (Pressurized IntraPeritoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy) is performed using Capnomed’s uniquely designed, patented, single-use device – CapnoPen® bringing hope to millions of cancer patients worldwide. The company head office, production unit and research facilities are located in Germany. The company believes in pioneering innovative technologies for greater health and quality of life. At Capnomed, technical expertise of medical devices (engineering) and drug carriers (pharma) are combined to develop modern-era cancer treatment. At the core of their success is a team of engineers, pharma scientists and regulatory experts.

Capnomed has focused its efforts on the development of innovative processes involving medical aerosols and an array of drug delivery platforms to target cancer. Their medical device helps to administer anticancer drugs into the peritoneal cavity. Currently, standard chemotherapy is the cornerstone of cancer treatment in the medical field. Capnomed’s product hopes to take cancer treatment to the next level with the aid of their products. Capnopen® is designed to control the size of drops, spray angles, flow rate for efficient and localized administration of drugs. Patients benefiting from this new treatment typically suffer from advanced gastric, colorectal and ovarian cancers that have spread or originated in the peritoneum. Peritoneal cancers are difficult to treat satisfactorily using currently available treatments such as systemic chemotherapy, radiation etc. They pose a high financial burden, mental and physical stress to patients. In contrast, PIPAC procedure performed using CapnoPen® offers a quick, easy, safe administration of medical drugs at cancer target site, exhibiting significant improvement in the quality of life of patients and low side effects compared to standard chemotherapy.
