An apparatus and method are disclosed for treating blood, by having the blood (B) enter a container (11), in which essentially insoluble fats (or lipids) (L) are discriminately withdrawn out of the blood (B) as the blood (B) flows through or rises in the container (11), preferably by means of a wick (47) that is in the container (11), as the level of blood (B) in the container (11) rises around the wick (47), such that essentially insoluble lipids (L) on the upper surface (56) of rising blood (B) are removed from the blood (B), leaving behind essentially aqueous components of the blood (B). Clots, bone chips and the like are also removed from the blood (B) by means of a filter (54). |
