Making life-saving dialysis fluid where it's needed.
Peritoneal dialysis fluid is more than 95% water. So instead of shipping water around the world, Meld Bio is developing a system for producing sterile PD fluid at the point of care.
Peritoneal dialysis is crippled by its own weight.
Today's PD fluid is manufactured centrally, then freighted in heavy bags across continents. That weight — more than the mass of an adult, every month, per patient — is the single biggest reason most of the world can't access a therapy that would save them.
Decentralized manufacturing, near the point of care.
One compact compounder, two simple consumables. Installed at provider locations, the system produces over 100 liters of sterile PD fluid per hour — drawing water from local sources, combining it with premixed APIs, and filling bags through a proprietary contamination-free technology.
Months of shelf life, without heat.
Existing on-demand compounding methods require fluid to be used within hours. Terminal heat sterilization is costly, energy-intensive, and can degrade the product. Our proprietary non-thermal sterilization is what makes decentralized, high-volume production actually viable.
