The leukocyte reduction membrane is made from PBT fiber and PBT nanofiber layers. It uses nanofiber technology to increase pore volume and particle capture capacity per unit area. The membrane is thinner than conventional leukocyte filter media, helping reduce blood retention in the filter. A staged filtration structure combines prefiltration and final filtration layers. Surface modification improves blood compatibility and supports red blood cell passage through the membrane. The high porosity and soft nanofiber structure help reduce mechanical damage to red blood cells. Functional group surface modification supports stable leukocyte adsorption during filtration. The membrane is produced in a sanitary environment and can be used as a final raw material without additional cleaning or post-treatment.
