tortuous dialyzer

A tortuous dialyzer refers to a type of kidney dialysis filter where the tubes or fibers inside are arranged in a winding or twisted way. This design increases the surface area and improves blood flow distribution, enhancing the efficiency of removing waste and excess fluid from the blood. The convoluted shape allows for better contact between the blood and the dialyzing solution, leading to more effective dialysis sessions. Overall, it’s a specialized design aimed at optimizing the cleaning process during dialysis treatments.
