Abstract
An apparatus for purifying blood which is able to separate blood into plasma and blood rich in blood cells, to purify the separated plasma and to mix the purified plasma into the blood stream simultaneously by itself. The apparatus has two parts, i.e. a blood flowing system in which the blood is separated by means of porous hollow fibers provided in a container and the purified plasma is mixed into the blood stream through the hollow fibers, and a plasma flowing path in which the separated plasma is circulated and purified at a plasma purifying device provided on the way of the path. The apparatus has a simple structure and can be operated without any specific cares and difficulty. The apparatus is free from any problems, for instance, hemolysis, fiber blockage, mixing of the purifier particles into blood, and the like.
