Technological advancements have led to the development of high-efficiency hemodialysis equipment and hemodiafiltration systems. These innovations enable more effective removal of waste products and toxins from the blood during dialysis, enhancing the overall therapeutic outcomes for patients.
Ongoing research and development efforts have resulted in innovative dialyzer designs with improved biocompatibility and enhanced dialysis performance. Novel materials and membrane technologies contribute to reducing the risk of complications and increasing the efficiency of the dialysis process.
For instance, in May 2020, Outset Medical a U.S.-based medical technology company launched the Tablo hemodialysis system. This system aims to simplify and improve patient convenience with advanced dialysis features. Tablo hemodialysis system is suitable for providing extended therapy for 24 hours (XT), slow low-efficiency dialysis (SLED), standard hemodialysis (HD), isolated ultrafiltration (UF only), and sequential therapy, that is HD-UF and UF-HD.
Moreover, the introduction of online hemodiafiltration systems represents a significant technological leap in dialysis. OL-HDF combines hemodialysis and hemodiafiltration, offering improved clearance of larger molecular weight toxins and providing superior clinical outcomes for patients undergoing dialysis, contributing to market development.
