MINNEAPOLIS, April 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nuwellis, Inc. (NASDAQ:NUWE), a medical technology company committed to delivering solutions for patients with cardiorenal conditions, today announced the creation of a dedicated South Texas commercial territory as part of its ongoing effort to strengthen field engagement in key U.S. hospital markets.

South Texas is a significant healthcare region with large hospital systems and leading cardiac and critical care programs managing patients with complex fluid balance challenges. By establishing a focused territory, Nuwellis aims to provide more direct clinical support to physicians and care teams evaluating advanced fluid management strategies, including Aquadex therapy.

"Expanding our presence in strategic hospital markets enables closer collaborations with clinicians as they evaluate and implement ultrafiltration therapy," said Nuwellis' CEO John Erb. "South Texas is home to a number of highly regarded cardiac and critical care programs, and our new territory allows us to deepen our partnerships with those teams."

The addition of the South Texas territory reflects Nuwellis' continued focus on strengthening its commercial organization and supporting hospitals treating patients with complex cardiorenal conditions.
