Byonyks, a US-based medical devices start-up in Lahore, has successfully invented Pakistan’s first dialysis machine that would afford patients the comfort to go through the process at home, said a press release issued by the company.

According to the communique, the invention called “Robo-Kidney” would be the country’s first innovation that will cater to both local and international kidney failure patients.

Quoting statistics, the press release added that more than 72 per cent of Pakistani kidney patients are infected by Hepatitis-C infections that are being spread by traditional dialysis practices.

However, Byonyks dialysis machine, that is both bloodless and affordable, was designed keeping in view the harsh local conditions.
