Device for removal of bacterial lipopolysaccharides and/or lipoteichonic acids from liquids containing proteins and use for the manufacture of means for the removal of these compounds

摘要

Device for removing bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and lipoteichoic acids (LTA) from blood or plasma in an extracorporeal perfusion system. Device for removing bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and lipoteichoic acids (LTA) from blood or plasma in an extracorporeal perfusion system includes a hollow fiber material (A), for selective removal of LPS and LTA, in a housing that can be integrated into the system. The device is arranged so that liquid that enters the housing through a first opening must pass through (A) before leaving through a second opening, after which is passes through the rest of the perfusion circuit. ACTIVITY : Antibacterial; Immunosuppressive. No biological data given. MECHANISM OF ACTION : Physical removal of bacterial toxins.
