Abstract
A device for extracorporeal treatment of physiological fluids of organism has means forming a filtration membrane for filtering smaller-size components of a physiological fluid withdrawn from a patient from larger-size components of the same, a bed of particulate adsorbing material with which the smaller-size components are contacted for purification, and means for combining the purified smaller-size components of the fluid with the larger-size components of the fluid for returning the thusly treated fluid to a patient.
Claims13
A device for extracorporeal treatment of physiological fluids of an organism, comprising means forming a filtration membrane for filtering smeller-size components of a physiological fluid withdrawn from a patient from larger-size components of the said physiological fluid, a bed of particulate porous adsorbing material with which the smaller-size components are contacted for purification:
- means for combining the purified smaller-size components of the fluid with the larger-size components of the fluid for returning the thusly treated fluid to a patient;
- an inlet chamber with an inlet;
- a housing;
- and an outlet chamber with an outlet said filtration membrane forming means comprising, a plurality of hollow fibers, said hollow fibers and said bed of particulate material being arranged so that said hollow fibers transport the larger-size components of said fluid directly from the inlet chamber into the outlet chamber, while releasing a filtrate of smaller-size components or the fluid into the interior of the housing, and said bed of particulate adsorbing material enabling passage of said filtrate of smaller-size components in the interior of the housing and said filtrate's directly into the outlet chamber without passing again through said hollow fibers, said outlet chamber located wherein a flow of the larger-size components is mixed with a flow of the treated smaller-size components of the physiological fluid before said physiological fluid exits the device and returns to the patient.
