hollow fiber
Porous cylindrical filament
Hollow fiber refers to a thin tube with an empty channel running through its center, typically made of synthetic or semi-permeable material.
These fibers are bundled together in medical and industrial applications: hollow fiber dialyzers filter blood in kidney treatment, while hollow fiber membranes purify water or separate gases.
The hollow fiber cartridge needs replacing every six months.
