Bunched and dispersed carbon fiber adsorbents for dextoxication

"Actilen" and "Vaulen" carbon fiber adsorbents in bunched, stapled and dispersed form for haemosorption, topical application and enterosorption have been developed. The sorbents possess homogeneously porous structure and chemically active surface which may be controlled in the process of material synthesis. Fiberous sorbents have stood toxicological trials and are now approved for clinical application. "Vaulen" enterosorbent developed by Leningrad Institute of Man-made Fibers and Composite Materials, Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry of White Russian Academy of Sciences, Military Medical Academy and White Russian Scientific Research Sanitary Institute is recommended by the Pharmacological Committee of Soviet Ministry of Public Health to be ready for clinical application. Actilen carbon fiber adsorbent for haemosorption and topical application therapy was awarded a gold medal at the 1984 Leipzig Fair.
