Abstract
Fourteen haemodialysers are described, including most of the models in widespread clinical use. There is now a wide choice between dialysers all of which have acceptable clearance of small molecules and residual blood volume and are not seriously thrombogenic. They differ mainly in their clearances, blood flow resistance, ultrafiltration rate and leak rate. Data are supplied to facilitate a choice between them in the light of localresources and priorities.
