- A medical instrument for separating substances in solution by unequal diffusion through semipermeable membranes
- A plastic artificial kidney that contains thousands of very thin, hollow, tube-like membrane fibers. Blood flows through the inside of the hollow membranes. The fibers are surrounded by dialysate. Toxins from the blood move through the membranes and into the dialysate. ...
- The medical term for the 'artificial kidney' - the filter that 'dialyzes' (removes waste from) the blood.
- An artificial kidney usually composed of hollow fiber which is used in hemodialysis to eliminate waste products from the blood and remove excess fluids from the bloodstream.
