A dialyzer or artificial kidney is part of a hemodialysis machine that filters blood to remove excess waste and fluid from the blood when a patient’s kidneys are no longer able to perform the task. At its core there are thousands of tiny mesh tubes that perform a filtering function.
Molded Products manufactures both single and double universal dialyzer holders, also known as cartridge holders or dialyzer brackets. These holders work with a variety of dialyzers and are made primarily of plastic with Stainless Steel components, both which will withstand chemical cleaning.
A Dialyzer holder is a device used to securely hold a dialysis membrane, or “dialyzer,” in place during a hemodialysis treatment. The dialyzer column is attached to the dialyzer holder which is attached to the dialysis machine during the hemodialysis process.
The holder is typically made of plastic and is designed to fit the specific size and shape of the dialyzer being used. It is used to keep the dialyzer in place during the treatment, ensuring that the blood and dialysis solution flow properly through the membrane. Some dialyzer holders also have features such as a built-in clamp or tubing connectors to help with setup and use during the treatment.
In addition to dialysis, examples of other medical procedures that can use a dialyzer holder include therapeutic apheresis, cell collection and LDL apheresis.
It is important to note that the choice of dialyzer holder depends on the type of dialysis treatment, the equipment used and the patient’s needs. A healthcare professional should be consulted to choose the appropriate dialyzer holder.
