Low-flux hemodialyzer

A Low-Flux Hemodialyzer is a medical device used in hemodialysis, a life-saving treatment for patients with kidney failure or impaired kidney function. This hemodialyzer is a key component of the hemodialysis machine and is responsible for removing waste products and excess fluids from the patient’s blood.

Key features of a Low-Flux Hemodialyzer include:

1. Membrane Filters: The hemodialyzer contains a semipermeable membrane with small pores that allow for the diffusion of waste products and excess fluids out of the patient’s blood while retaining essential blood components.

2. Low Molecular Weight Cutoff: The term “low-flux” refers to a hemodialyzer with a low molecular weight cutoff, meaning it is less efficient at removing larger molecules, such as certain toxins and proteins, compared to high-flux hemodialyzers.

3. Sterile Blood Path: The device ensures that the patient’s blood remains in a sterile path throughout the hemodialysis process, preventing contamination.

4. Compatibility: Low-flux hemodialyzers are compatible with standard hemodialysis machines and circuits.

Low-Flux Hemodialyzers are used in specific clinical situations, often when there is a need to perform hemodialysis with less aggressive removal of larger molecules and proteins. These devices play a crucial role in supporting the health and well-being of individuals with kidney failure, helping to remove waste products and excess fluids from the bloodstream to maintain vital physiological functions.
