Polyflux® 6H
All the benefits of Polyflux high-flux for treatment of low body weight patients
The Polyflux 6H filter is designed for low body weight dialysis. It features the Polyamix membrane created from a unique polymer blend.
• The Polyamix membrane’s asymmetric 3-layer structure provides excellent sieving properties.
• High-flux dialysis and convective treatments efficiently, consistently and selectively remove solutes such as ϐ2M while a sharp cut-off protects the blood from unwanted loss, such as albumin, with a predictable Kt/V.
• Furthermore, a breakthrough configuration known as microdomains combines the advantages of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic polymers. These microdomains reduce:
Specific protein and cellular interactions for less
complement activation.
Microinflammation and the risk of thromobogenicity.
Innovations for low body weight patient dialyzers
Advanced fiber distribution and geometry
• Homogenous fiber distribution for improved blood and dialysate flows.
• High precision on the microscale with complete control over fiber geometry.
