Abstract
A system for filtering or treating blood of a subject is provided herein.

The system further includes a blood treatment or filtering device interposed between the bone and return ports thereby establishing a mini-circulatory system.
Claims24
A system for filtering blood of a subject, the system comprising:
- a bone port fixable to a bone and configured for establishing fluid communication with a bone marrow of said bone;
- a fluid fractioning device capable of selectively fractioning blood flowing out of said bone marrow to thereby retain a fraction of said blood;
- a first fluid conduit connectable between said bone port and said fluid fractioning device, and configured to establish fluid communication therebetween;
- a return port configured for returning a non-retained fraction of said blood to a circulation of the subject;
- and
- a second fluid conduit connectable between said fluid fractioning device and said return port, and configured to establish fluid communication therebetween.

A method of filtering blood of a subject, the method comprising:
- communicating blood from a bone marrow of a bone of the subject to a fluid fractioning device capable of selectively fractioning blood flowing out of said bone marrow to thereby retain a fraction of said blood, said communication is effected via a bone port fixable to said bone, and, via a first fluid conduit connectable between said bone port and said fluid fractioning device and configured to establish fluid communication therebetween;
- and
- returning a non-retained fraction of said blood to circulation of the subject, said returning is effected via a return port, and, via a second fluid conduit connectable between said fluid fractionating device and said return port and configured to establish fluid communication therebetween, thereby filtering blood thereof.
