CARL SYSTEM. CONTROLLED. TARGETED. PERSONALIZED.

The CARL System was developed to help more people survive cardiac arrest and improve neurological recovery afterwards. The technological features of the CARL System components are based on the requirements of CARL Therapy, a novel therapeutic approach to resuscitation that focuses on controlled, targeted and personalized whole-body reperfusion.

The new treatment method concerns sudden cardiac arrest, which can only be treated to a very limited extent, even under optimal conditions. The survival rate in hospital is around 20%. And outside a hospital, only 3 to 8 % of all patients survive an acute cardiovascular arrest. In addition, the few patients who leave hospital often suffer from severe and persistent brain damage.

CARL therapy relies on the controlled restoration of blood flow through reperfusion. The former Medical Director of the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery at the Freiburg University Medical Center and his team of researchers have discovered that it is possible to revive a person even after a prolonged cardiac arrest without significant consequential damage.
