Abstract

An important influence of new technology on medical practice is derived from the development and application of biomaterials. The close association between the development of biomaterials and that of blood detoxification devices (Klinkmann, 1984) means that a continuing influence of new technology on extracorporeal blood purification must be expected. Successful utilisation of new technology could enable the extension of the clinical application of extracorporeal blood purification from established procedures such as the artificial kidney into other areas. One such area is that of artificial liver support.
