Apparatus and methods for extracorporeal blood filtration involving the connection of a patient's cardiovascular circulation to an extracorporeal circulatory circuit, and filtration devices suitable for use in such apparatus and methods are dis-closed. Such filtration devices include a filter medium comprising a layer of non-woven fabric (21) impregnated with porous beads (22) and carrying a porous screen (23) on at least one side. This invention enables the removal or particular molecular species such as pro-inflammatory cytokines from a patient's circulation, and is of particular utility in cardiopulmonary bypass and haemodialysis-like procedures.

L'invention concerne un appareil et des méthodes de filtration extracorporelle du sang, consistant à relier la circulation cardio-vasculaire d'un patient à un circuit de circulation extracorporelle, ainsi que des dispositifs de filtration pouvant être mis en oeuvre dans ces appareil et méthodes. Ces dispositifs de filtration sont constitués par un milieu filtrant comprenant une couche de tissu non tissé (21) imprégné de billes poreuses (22) et comportant un écran poreux (23) sur au moins un côté. La présente invention permet de retirer des espèces moléculaires déterminées, telles que des cytokines pro-inflammatoires, de la circulation du patient et elle est donc particulièrement utile dans des actes de type circulation extracorporelle et hémodialyse.
