First Claim
1. A dialysis probe for insertion into a human or animal body, the probe comprising:
- a tubular dialysis membrane closed at a distal end;
an inlet tube for supplying perfusion fluid into a body of the dialysis membrane;
an outlet tube for the exit of perfusion fluid from the body of the dialysis membrane;
the inlet and outlet tubesbeing provided at a proximal end, of the tubular dialysis membrane and making a sealed connection with an interior of the dialysis membrane;

Abstract
A dialysis probe for insertion into the human or animal body includes a tubular dialysis membrane (2) closed at its distal end (3); an inlet tube (4) for supplying perfusion fluid into the body of the dialysis membrane (2); and an outlet tube (5) for the exit of perfusion fluid from the body of the dialysis membrane, the inlet and outlet tubes being provided at the proximal end of the tubular dialysis membrane (2) and making sealed connection with the interior of the dialysis membrane. An anchoring member (7, 20) is provided at the proximal end of the probe and in a first embodiment comprises a plate-like member for securing directly to the body of the subject, and in a second embodiment comprises a stopper cap (21, 22, 23, 24) for plugging a cannula itself attached to the body of the subject. The anchoring member has all the remaining component parts of the probe bounded, directly or indirectly, to it.
