Patent ID: 11583617

Abstract:
A dialysis device (100) comprises: a dialyzer for exchange of substances between a blood flow and a dialysate flow in a dialysis area (106) of the dialyzer, wherein the dialyzer comprises a dialyzer membrane (110) for passing toxins in the blood flow to the dialysate flow through pores (112) of the dialyzer membrane (110); and a capacitively coupled generator (120) for generating electromagnetic fields in the dialysis area (106) for loosening electrostatic bonds between toxins and proteins in the blood flow, wherein the generator (120) is capacitively coupled to the blood flow and to the dialysate flow on opposite sides of the dialyzer membrane, and wherein the dialysate membrane (110) is formed of a material having lower conductance than blood and dialysate such that a large electromagnetic field strength is provided across the pores (112) of the dialyzer membrane (110).
