Transducer Protector
Transducer Protector are used in Hemodialysis blood lines to keep the blood
side of the circuit separated from the machine side, and to prevent contamination of
the machine by the blood flowing through the circuit. This contamination could be
very dangerous and can lead to patient cross contamination with hepatitis B or other
virus. Transducer protectors let air pass while preventing the blood from passing
through. TP's incorporate bacterial retentive membrane.
Membrane Solutions transducer protectors are also suitable as air or gas vents.
Venting characteristics are achieved by using hydrophobic membranes. Membrane
Solutions has a full range of transducer protector products which incorporate either
highly hydrophobic PTFE or hydrophobic acrylic membranes, and custom products can be
manufactured upon request.
