Results for tag: "Hemofilter"

Hemofilters are medical devices used to remove toxins, waste products, and excess fluid from the blood. They are commonly used in dialysis, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), and other treatments. Hemofilters are typically composed of a semi-permeable membrane, a housing, and a collection chamber. The membrane allows for the passage of small molecules, such as electrolytes, while preventing the passage of larger molecules, such as proteins. The housing contains the membrane and the collection chamber, which collects the filtered fluid. Hemofilters are used in a variety of medical settings, including intensive care units, dialysis centers, and operating rooms. They are also used in the treatment of sepsis, acute kidney injury, and other conditions. Hemofilters are designed to be safe and effective, and are typically disposable after a single use. Some companies in the Hemofilter market include Baxter International, Fresenius Medical Care, NxStage Medical, and Asahi Kasei Medical. Show Less Read more
