Fresenius Medical Care Hemoflow Dialyzer FX8

Description

Several state-of-the-art technologies have been combined to create the distinctive functional features of the FX dialyzers. The fibre bundle geometry, the membrane nanostructure, the flow port and the housing design all provide advantages in terms of performance, hemodynamics, dialyzate flow, as well as safety and handling. The lateral blood-inlet port provides a homogenous blood-flow path, avoiding low velocity stagnation zones in the header region The risk of accidental kinking of bloodlines is very low Helixone — the advanced polysulfone membrane Nanotechnology membrane fabrication procedures (Nano Controlled Spinning Technology, NCS) provide Helixone with a highly-defined pore structure and distribution at the innermost, separating region of the membrane Unlike conventional pores which were rugged and uneven in shape, the pores at the inner layer of the Helixone membrane are smooth and cylindrical This reduces the resistance of the molecules when travelling through the pores and allows for enhanced removal
