    DIAPES® is a new synthetic family of membranes, setting advanced standards in haemodialysis and representing the next generation of dialysis membranes.
    DIAPES® is available in three different membrane types all made of polyethersulfone. Its unique polymer
and pore structure provides excellent haemocompatibility and performance, making it probably the most sophisticated dialyser membrane type available today.
    The revolutionary Performance Enhancing Technology (P.E.T.®), used in the manufacture of DIAPES®, incorporates a multifilament spacer yarn which helps to deliver an even flow of dialysate, providing maximum clearance and consistency.

The Clearance

dialysers using
DIAPES® is enhanced significantly by P.E.T.®

    With a membrane wall thickness of 30 µm - 25% less than conventional synthetic membranes - DIAPES® delivers enhanced diffusive clearance. This leads to improved dialysis performance, providing optimum effectiveness for the patient.

of fibres in dialysers
using DIAPES®
(red bars)
results in a higher
surface area per

when compared to
dialysers with

 Clearance performance in dialysers with DIAPES® HF800

     DIAPES® HF800 is significantly better than other synthetic membranes in removing ß2-microglobulin.


During a dialysis
session, DIAPES®
removes more
ß2-microglobulin
than conventional
synthetic membranes.
