II International Symposium on Carbon for Catalysis ABSTRACTS

PP-<strong>II</strong>-24
Carbon hemosorbent VN<strong>II</strong>TU-1 is applied for toxic substances elimination from blood
current at treatment of various diseases. Distinctive features of hemosorbent are the following
ones:
• high chemical purity (carbon content is not less than 99,5 %);
• low content of ashes is not more than 0,15 %;
• high mechanical strength of the granules and their spherical form;
• practically full absence of dust on surface and in pores, that gives to the sorbent
increased blood compatibility, provide good hydrodynamic of blood clearing process,
and inertness in relation to formal blood elements.
The product was awarded with Golden medal at the First <strong>International</strong> Innovation and
Investment Salon (Moscow, 2001).
Carbon enterosorbent VN<strong>II</strong>TU-2 is used for detoxication of patients with the
accumulation of toxic substances in the organism.
Enterosorbent surpasses other sorbents in a number of different unique properties such as:
• high chemical purity (it includes of 99.5 % carbon that is inert to a digestive mucous
membrane);
• low content of mineral admixture (ashes);
• high mechanical strength of granules;
• absence of dust;
• practically neutral reaction of surface-active groups;
• high sorptive capacity for toxins of low and medium molecular weight;
• insolubility in biological liquids;
• complete removing from an organism;
• simplicity of application.
The clinical tests of the sorbent were carried out in leading medical centers of Russia.
The test results have confirmed a high efficiency of medical sorbents application at treatment
of various diseases connected to accumulation of low and medium molecular weight toxins in
patient organism.
Carbon sorbents are successfully applied in medical institutions of Russia.
