Abstract
Abstract A hemodialyzer with semipermeable membrane tubes arranged in parallel. The tubes lead to dialysate manifolds at either ends of the tubes which are sealed from blood manifolds one on each side of the tubes by epoxy resin surrounding each cellophane tube. The tubes are closely packed with dialysate flowing through them and blood flowing around them. Tube supports within the tubes provide flow paths for both the dialysate and the blood while flaps on the outside of each tube prevent peel stress due to blood flow from destroying the epoxy bonds.
