Abstract
A stacked membrane apparatus for dialyzing or oxygenating blood, in which the blood compartment is isolated from the fluid (e.g., dialysate or oxygen) compartment without compressive forces being imposed by the casing to the blood manifold regions of the unit. Spaced means are provided for closing membranes about membrane support plates in such a fashion as to provide blood flow paths in the space between the closing means.
