Polysulfone-based hollow fiber membrane and process for manufacturing the same

摘要

The polysulfone hollow fiber membrane of the invention has an inner dense skin layer composed of a polysulfone and a less amount of a polyvinylpyrrolidone, a content of the polyvinylpyrrolidone in the dense skin layer being higher than that in an outer surface layer. This membrane has excellent biocompatibility and anti-thrombogenetic ability and is, therefore, useful in body fluid treatment, such as hemodialysis, hemofiltration and hemoconcentration, without clogging with thrombi.
