Nipro Medical Launches the Cellentia-H Cellulose Triacetate (CTA), Single-Use Dialyzer at the 2017 ASN Kidney Week Conference

BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Nov. 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Nipro Medical Corporation announced the launch of Cellentia®-H cellulose triacetate (CTA), single-use dialyzer at the 2017 ASN Kidney Week Conference. The Cellentia-H is the newest addition to Nipro’s growing line of high performance dialyzers. The Cellentia-H dialyzer is indicated for all hemodialysis patients, especially those where conservative therapy is judged to be inadequate.

The cellulose triacetate membrane optimizes excellent biocompatibility and clearances to minimize potential adverse reactions. The polypropylene housing and the CTA membrane of the dialyzer are made without BPA and DEHP. Nipro has removed these chemicals from all of its dialyzers in the US to ensure patients are not exposed to these well-known endocrine disruptors*. The Cellentia-H is also gamma sterilized to enhance product safety. The Cellentia-H product offering includes a selection of four sizes - 15H (1.5m²), 17H (1.7m²), 19H (1.9m²) and 21H (2.1m²).

“The Cellentia-H dialyzer allows us to continue addressing the specific clinical needs of the dialysis patient population. Our goal is to always manufacture products that are safe for the patient and improve clinical outcomes,” said Joe Dawson, Senior Vice President of Nipro Medical Corporation, North America.
