Clear the way to recovery.

Delyo is developing AnXin, an active chest-tube clearance system for postoperative cardiac care.

AnXin is under development.

Meet AnXin

Designed to keep postoperative drainage flowing.

AnXin is an in-line chest-tube clearance system designed to remove blood clots while keeping the drainage circuit closed. It connects to existing drainage bottles and is being developed for use after cardiac surgery.

Generation 5 AnXin prototype
  • Automated clot clearance — Designed to clear blood clots that can obstruct chest-tube drainage.

  • Closed drainage circuit — Designed to support clot clearance without opening the drainage circuit.

  • Compatibility with existing drainage bottles — Designed to integrate with equipment already used in postoperative care.

How AnXin connects

AnXin sits between the chest tube and the drainage bottle.

Prototype development

Five generations of AnXin prototypes, developed through ongoing testing and feedback from healthcare professionals.

  1. Generation 1

  2. Generation 2

    Tested an Archimedes-impeller approach; it could not handle higher combined liquid and gas loads.

  3. Generation 3

    Moved to a positive-displacement pump architecture.

  4. Generation 4

    Simplified the main-unit structure and integrated a motor for simulated-blood testing.

  5. Generation 5

    Current prototype

    Integrated motor-current recording for ongoing bench validation.
