A medical technology company offering a blood processing, storage, and transfusion solution, Hemanext was formerly (until Oct 2017) doing business as New Health Systems Inc, (NHSI) with facilities in MA and in MD. With corporate HQ now in Lexington MA and manufacturing operations in Avon, MA, the firm is structured around achieving radical improvements in the quality, safety, efficacy and cost of transfusion therapy. An innovator in blood processing and storage technology (two primary areas of focus) the firm is working on (1) Hemanext™ an innovative storage system for red blood cells and whole blood that is designed to preserve their efficacy and safety characteristics during storage, as well as to extend their potential storage life and on (2) MVA (MicroVascular Analyzer) - a novel test and measurement system that provides both researchers and clinicians with a precise, highly sensitive measure of RBC deformability in a simulated capillary network using very small samples.
