An adsorber module and adsorber apparatus for whole blood treatment

A novel adsorber module for whole blood treatment is disclosed, which comprises a casing provided with a blood introduction means (2) and a blood withdrawal means (3) and a bun­dle of a plurality of porous hollow fibers (1) disposed in the casing and disposed between and fluid-tightly connected at end portions thereof to the blood introduction means (2) and the blood withdrawal means (3), wherein each porous hollow fiber (1) comprises a membranous porous resin matrix having pores (7) which open at least at the inner wall (5) of the hollow fiber (1) and a plurality of ligands (8) linked to the overall surface, including the walls of open pores (7), of the porous resin matrix. The adsorber module can easily be con­structed into an adsorber apparatus which can be practical­ly employed for treatment of whole blood. With this appa­ratus, whole blood can be effectively, efficiently treated without the danger of blood coagulation and hollow clogg­ing, whereby the malignant components of the whole blood can be effectively removed by adsorption on the ligands (8).
