Hollow fiber dialyzers are made up of thousands of small, porous fibers in a bundle. These fibers are typically composed of a biocompatible polymer material such as cellulose, polysulfone, or polyethersulfone. The hollow fibers provide a large surface area for efficient removal of waste products and excess fluids during dialysis treatment.
