Toray develops nanopore fibre for efficiently adsorbing pathogenic proteins in the blood（TORAY）August, 2023
【Supercategory：6. Products Subcategory：6.11 New products of 2023】
Toray has developed a cross-shaped nanopore fibre with polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) that efficiently adsorbs pathogenic proteins in the blood, combined nanotechnology and fiber technology by employing its PMMA hollow fibre membrane spinning technology. Changing the nanopore size on the surface and inside the fiber makes it possible to control the types of protein that this material adsorbs. The fiber pore sizes are adjustable to the diameters of target proteins for a range of diseases such as inflammatory proteins in sepsis, autoantibodies in autoimmune diseases, and causative proteins in chronic illnesses.
