Medical Device Works develops medical devices for cancer chemotherapy administration. Its catheter based PILP system is applied percutaneously and allows temporarily isolation of an organ from the body's blood supply by controlling the blood inflow and outflow. This allows chemotherapy to be administered at high concentrations to the affected organ. The drug remains only in the affected organ during the chemotherapy procedure and is afterwards eliminated. Side effects in other parts of the body are thus decreased. Its PILP system is especially marketed for solid organ cancers i.e Liver, Lung, Pancreas etc.. cancer chemotherapy administration
