Abstract
Abstract A self-contained pack for hemodialysis comprising a stack of rigid plastic sheets each formed with ridges and valleys and arranged in oppositely facing pairs, with pairs of flexible dialysis membranes interposed between the pairs of rigid sheets in the stack. The spaces between the paired membranes serve as blood flow passages, while the ridges of the rigid sheets provide support for the membranes. The spaces in the valleys between the ridges are packed with adsorbent material, e.g. an ion-exchange resin, immersed in nonflowing dialysis fluid.
