HEMOFEEL™ CH
Hemofilter
Features
HEMOFEEL™ CH is a hemofilter for continuous renal support made of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) membrane with excellent biocompatibility and also unique characteristics of absorbing proteins. In vitro experiments have shown that the PMMA hemofilter has an inflammatory cytokine adsorptive capability.
Use
HEMOFEEL™ CH is designed for the continuous replacement of the main activity of the kidneys by removing water and toxins at a slow and steady rate.
