  • Title: A hemoperfusion column based on activated carbon granules coated with an ultrathin membrane of cellulose acetate.
    Author: Tijssen J, Bantjes A, van Doorn AW, Feijen J, van Dijk B, Vonk CR, Dijkhuis IC.
    Journal: Artif Organs; 1979 Feb; 3(1):11-4. PubMed ID: 435118.
    Abstract:
    A hemoperfusion system has been developed which makes use of activated carbon encapsulated with cellulose acetate. Studies have revealed that there are no stagnant flow regions in the column, there is minimal particle release and the coating is 30 A thick. The relationships between pore size, pore volume and surface area have been examined. Twenty-five patients in grade IV coma have been treated with the column for treatment of drug overdose or agricultural chemical poisoning; the clinical course of one meprobamate-poisoned patient is described in detail.
