Program this week: Fosmo Med - Saving Lives Through Technology

Fosmo Med was founded with a mission to save the lives of people who may have a difficult time receiving treatment because of a difficulty of getting medical supplies to treat their ailments. Current IV solution has not been changed since the 1970s when the bottle was replaced with plastic bags. However, the plastic bags did not solve the basic fundamental problem with IV solutions: water. Since 80-90%+ of the product being shipped is water, current IV solution is bulky, heavy, has a short shelf life and is prone to leakage.

We believe we have a better solution. We are trying to improve the logistics of shipping IV solution bags – sodium chloride, sucrose and potassium chloride based solutions – by shipping it without water and allow Forward Osmosis to draw clean and sterile water through a membrane thus creating a IV solution at the point of care.
