The <strong>Theranova</strong> Dialyzer was designed to filter a wider range of molecules from the blood than conventional hemodialysis filters, targeting the removal of large middle molecules that may be associated with inflammation and cardiovascular health for ESKD patients.<sup>12-14</sup> Its innovative MEDIUM CUT-OFF (MCO) membrane expands the range of solute removed during regular dialysis, while retaining essential proteins at a limited level. This unique cut-off and retention onset profile allows for filtration closer to that of the natural kidney.<sup>15-16</sup></p> <div class="two-col-image-section__content--links"> </div> </div> </div>
