Pump-Free Microfluidic Hemofiltration Device

Pump-Free Microfluidic Hemofiltration Device

Hemofiltration removes water and small molecules from the blood via nanoporous filtering membranes. This paper discusses a pump-free hemofiltration device driven by the pressure difference between the artery and the vein. In the design of the filtering device, oncotic pressure needs to be taken into...
