...Joseph H. Miller; James H. Shinaberger; Lee W. Henderson; Peter W. Gardner The physical, solute transfer and biocompatibility properties of two new parallel plate dialyzers using Gambrane polycarbonate (PC) membrane of 0.8 m 2 (L-3 PC) and 1.1 m 2 (L-5 PC) were studied in 6 volunteer chronic...

...C. Heierli; M. Markert; J. Frei; P.H. Lambert; J.P. Wauters In a clinical comparative cross-over study of 12 chronically hemodialyzed patients, the polycarbonate hemodialyzer membrane disclosed the following features: (1) A drop in neutrophil count to 45 ± 11 % of predialysis values occurred 15 min...

...Marc E. De Broe; Jean-Pierre van Waeleghem; Reinilde Heyrman; Wilfried De Backer In this preliminary study, the biocompatibility of a new dialysis membrane, polycarbonate, was studied. The bioincompatible effect of this membrane is less pronounced compared to cuprophane. © 1986 S. Karger AG...

...M. Forêt; T. Hachache; C. Alibeu; F. Kuentz; H. Meftahi We studied the performance and tolerance of a new capillary hemodialyzer using a polycarbonate membrane (Gambrane® PCD 1000) in a group of 5 elderly patients (mean age 68 years). The ultrafiltration coefficient is 6 (justifying the monitoring...
