A filter assembly comprising a prefiltering support layer () is disclosed, wherein the prefiltering support layer () comprises a non-woven fabric of fibers, the non-woven fabric having a pore size. A first mesh filter layer () is arranged downstream the prefiltering support layer (), wherein the first mesh filter layer () has a first mesh size, wherein the pore size of the prefiltering support layer () is equal to or bigger than the first mesh size of the first mesh filter layer (). A container for collecting a body fluid comprising such a filter assembly as well as a method for manufacturing such a filter assembly are also disclosed.

A hydrophobic filter for filtering an airflow or another gaseous flow in a medical application has a housing encompassing a filter chamber, an inlet port arranged on the housing and forming an inlet opening, an outlet port arranged on the housing and forming an outlet opening, and a hydrophobic structure extending along a plane of extension and separating the filter chamber into an inlet chamber and an outlet chamber. The inlet opening opens into the inlet chamber and the outlet opening opens into the outlet chamber. Herein, the outlet opening opens into the outlet chamber at a first location when viewed along the plane of extension and the inlet opening opens into the inlet chamber at a second location different from the first location when viewed along the plane of extension.

A porous web for filtering fluids has a plurality of adjacent layers of fiber material having anisotropic properties. The anisotropic directions of a given vectorial property of at least two adjacent layers differ one from the other by an angle greater than 0&#xb0;, and preferably of at least 8&#xb0;. The porous web is particularly useful as a filter element for the filtration of biological fluids, such as blood and blood components.
