Executive Summary
The benefits of therapeutic apheresis are described in a new brochure from BVMed, the German industry association for medical devices. The 32-page document describes apheresis as an innovative, extra-corporeal blood filtration procedure for eliminating certain toxins with very few side effects. "Therapeutic apheresis offers many medical disciplines the ability to provide a non-traumatic therapy which can be optimally adapted to the treatment of the individual," says BVMed. The association agreed to represent companies in the area of therapeutic apheresis in November last year (see Clinica No 943, p 6).
