None:
The performance of semipermeable membranes, and adsorbents incorporated in blood purification devices depends heavily on the design of blood purification devices. No matter how excellent the semipermeable membranes or adsorbents are, if the devices incorporating them are not well designed, the performance of the semipermeable membranes or adsorbents will not be effectively utilized. For this reason, technical know-how is required to optimally design the blood purification devices, and collaboration with different fields is of great help. We will discuss the efforts of our predecessors in interdisciplinary collaboration in the blood purification, as well as the good transmission of gained knowledge.
