Dialyzers serve an important function during hemodialysis, as they act as a filter to remove toxins from the blood. REVACLEAR, a high-flux dialyzer, contains a three-layer polyarylethersulfone membrane, which has been designed to provide selective permeability and minimal resistance to diffusion.2 REVACLEAR dialyzers are indicated for treatment of chronic and acute renal failure by hemodialysis.
