CRMD

Cormedix Inc.

A biopharmaceutical company that makes Defencath, a catheter lock solution used by kidney-dialysis patients to prevent bloodstream infections and blood clotting. Founded in 2006 by Antony P. Pfaffle, the firm began life as Picton Holding Company and was renamed CorMedix a few months later. The name blends the Latin "cor" (heart) with "medix," a nod to the medical conditions it addresses.
