title: Rates of heparin adsorption in hemoperfusion devices.
abstract: In vitro studies have shown that the rates of adsorption of heparin from saline in commercially available hemoperfusion devices at 100 to 200 ml/min flow rates are intrinsically quite low. Thus the potential for significant heparin removal from blood (and thus a rise in the possibility of clotting problems) in clinical applications seems remote.
