...Gerhard Riede The development of a new plate dialyser with polycarbonate membrane is described. The principles for the dialyser design, the methods for flow visualisation and for determining the residual blood as well as in vitro data for clearance and ultrafiltration are presented. The in vitro...

...H. Göhl; M. Raff; H. Harttig; R. Deppisch Polyether-polycarbonate hollow fibers, spun by the phase inversion method, yield a dialysis membrane with a limited ultrafiltration coefficient but high diffusive permeability. Dialysers are made out of this membrane and are sterilized by gamma radiation...

...Katharina Kodras; Thomas Benesch; Irmgard Neumann; Martin Haas Background: Heparin-free dialysis (HFD), i.e. only priming of the dialyser and no systemic heparinization, might reduce the risk of bleeding in dialysis patients receiving oral anticoagulation. The efficacy of HFD with two different...
