Hemodialysis Dialyzer

Hemodialysis dialyzers, often called artificial kidneys, are crucial medical devices that filter blood to remove waste products and excess fluid when kidneys fail. They come in two primary membrane types, each designed for different patient needs:

High Flux Dialyzers: Characterized by a more permeable membrane with larger pores, high flux dialyzers are designed to remove both small and larger molecules, including middle molecules like beta-2 microglobulin, through both diffusion and convection. This makes them ideal for patients with more advanced ESRD or those with specific health complications requiring more efficient toxin removal, potentially offering shorter treatment times and improved clinical outcomes.

Low Flux Dialyzers: These dialyzers feature a less permeable membrane with smaller pores. They are highly effective at removing smaller waste molecules like urea and creatinine primarily through diffusion. Low flux dialyzers are typically used for patients with less severe End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) or in standard hemodialysis sessions, offering a cost-effective and reliable option for basic waste removal.

Product Specifications

Membrane Type

Low Flux Membrane Dialyzers: Balanced Filtration for Optimal Patient Comfort

Our Low Flux Membrane hemodialysis dialyzers are meticulously engineered with a controlled permeability (ultrafiltration rate < 15 mL/mmHg/h and $\beta$2MG clearance rate < 15 mL/min). This design ensures the effective removal of smaller solutes while thoughtfully minimizing the extraction of crucial middle-sized solutes. Available in surface areas of 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, and 2.0 sqm, these dialyzers offer a strategic solution to reduce the risk of complications often associated with more aggressive filtration, such as hypotension and membrane fouling. Their inherent durability also translates into less frequent replacements, significantly contributing to a lower overall treatment cost for patients.

High Flux Membrane Dialyzers: Advanced Performance for Complex Needs

For cases demanding a more intensive and comprehensive purification, our High Flux Membrane hemodialysis dialyzers represent cutting-edge technology. Defined by a high ultrafiltration rate (≥ 15 mL/mmHg/h) and a $\beta$2MG clearance rate of ≥ 15 mL/min, these exceptionally permeable membranes are optimized for the superior removal of both small and larger, middle-sized solutes. This advanced capability makes them indispensable for patients with elevated concentrations of these toxins. Offered in surface areas of 1.5, 1.8, and 2.0 sqm, our high flux dialyzers provide unparalleled adaptability to meet the most demanding treatment requirements, ensuring elite dialysis efficacy.

Uses

How should a Hemodialysis Dialyzer be used?

A hemodialysis dialyzer functions as a cartridge-like device containing a semipermeable membrane that efficiently filters the patient’s blood, removing waste products and excess fluid. For use, the dialyzer is securely attached to the hemodialysis machine. It is then connected to the patient’s blood vessels via two needles: one needle extracts blood from the body, directing it to the dialyzer for filtration, while the other returns the freshly cleaned blood back to the patient.

Can this Hemodialysis Dialyzer be reused?

No, this dialyzer is strictly designed for single, one-time use only. Reusing a dialyzer intended for single use poses significant health risks, including the potential for serious infection and the compromise of adequate dialysis treatment. It is imperative to always adhere to the manufacturer’s instructions and ensure proper disposal of the dialyzer after each individual use.
