Fluid filtration device

Abstract

Described herein are systems, devices, and methods for filtering a fluid. The fluid may include or may be suspected to include a particle. The systems may include a filtration housing and a filter at least partially compressed within the housing. Compression of the filter set by the housing may result in a gradation of effective pore sizes of the filter, allowing for particles of various sizes to be captured within the filter. The compression may additionally increase an effective surface area of the filter and allow for multidirectional flow of the fluid through the filter. The methods for use and manufacture of the filtration systems and devices may include arranging the filter within the housing such that at least a portion of the filter is compressed within the housing and a desired effective pore size of the filter is achieved.
