MEMBRANE FOR BLOOD PURIFICATION

The present disclosure relates to hollow fiber membranes which are suitable for blood purification and which have an increased ability to remove larger molecules while at the same time effectively retaining albumin. The membranes are characterized by a molecular retention onset (MWRO) of between 9.0...

More Information
Summary:The present disclosure relates to hollow fiber membranes which are suitable for blood purification and which have an increased ability to remove larger molecules while at the same time effectively retaining albumin. The membranes are characterized by a molecular retention onset (MWRO) of between 9.0 kD and 14.5 kD and a molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) of between 55 kD and 130 kD as determined by dextran sieving curves.
