Byonyks Information

Byonyks has engineered an FDA-cleared state-of-the-art peritoneal dialysis machine, transforming care for patients with kidney failure. Globally, over eight million people with kidney disease lack dialysis access—a costly, invasive, and time-consuming treatment that filters blood when kidneys fail. Many of these individuals face life-threatening consequences due to the lack of proper care. Byonyks addresses this critical issue with its Bloodless Dialysis machine, a safe, effective, portable, and non-invasive solution that’s more affordable than existing options. Our technology empowers patients to perform dialysis at home, overnight, while they sleep, allowing them to maintain their daily work and family responsibilities. The needle-free approach also reduces the risk of chronic infections such as HIV and Hepatitis C. Headquartered in Chicago, Byonyks is a medical device startup founded by Harvard & MIT graduates and industry experts. Our core team’s expertise contributes to over half of the operational peritoneal dialysis machines in the USA. The machine has saved multiple lives in South Asia and is currently under review by the FDA—a pivotal step towards making accessible kidney care a global reality.
