title: Some results of hemosorption columns development and usage in Czechoslovakia.
abstract: Hemoperfusion columns packed with active charcoal and a synthetic resin have been manufactured in Czechoslovakia since 1983. In both cases the sorption packings are coated with a layer of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate). The columns are manufactured in two sizes: for adults (800 ml) and for children (400 ml). The manufacturer is OPS Kolín: the number of columns manufactured so far is 3400.
