HAEMOFILTERS FOR BLOOD DETOXIFICATION

摘要

The present invention regards the use of hemofilters for the removal of bacterial toxins (lipopolysaccharides) from the blood, said hemofilters comprising a solid support to which cyclodextrins are covalently bonded. The solid support can be a fabric or non-woven fabric or a polymeric resin obtained by means of cross-linking of the cyclodextrins with appropriate cross-linking agents, for example epichlorohydrin.
