摘要 |
The present invention suggests a dialysis probe comprising a mechanically-strong membrane carrier, or support, which is an elongate, rod-like, support member (11) having at its distal end an eye (13), or a notch, through which a relatively-flexible, open-ended, tubular semipermeable membrane (31) can be passed (rather like a strand of cotton is threaded through the eye of a needle), and wherein most preferably the opposed sides (12f, 12b) of the support member are shaped so as at least partially to accommodate the tubular membrane (31) when the latter is folded back (at the eye/notch 13), U-fashion, and caused to lie against and either side of the support member (11) between its distal and proximal ends.
