PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide, in particular, a polymeric component of an extracorporeal blood circuit with a surface that minimizes the rate of thrombosis upon exposure to blood as there is a need for extracorporeal blood circuits that have reduced thrombogenicity based on the treatments that require the use of pumping blood out of and into a patient.SOLUTION: The present invention relates to extracorporeal blood circuits, and components thereof (e.g., hollow fiber membranes, potted bundles, and blood tubing), including 0.005% to 10% (w/w) surface modifying macromolecule. The extracorporeal blood circuits have an anti-thrombogenic surface and can be used in hemofiltration, hemodialysis, hemodiafiltration, hemoconcentration, blood oxygenation, and related uses. |
