Dialysis Machines & Chairs in South Africa
Available Dialysis Machines & Chairs Models

Dialysis machines, also known as artificial kidneys, are sophisticated medical devices designed to perform the function of healthy kidneys when they are no longer able to adequately filter waste products and excess fluid from the blood. These machines are essential in treating patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) or acute kidney injury. A typical dialysis session involves a process called hemodialysis, where blood is circulated from the patient's body, through the dialysis machine, and then returned to the body. The machine contains a dialyzer (artificial kidney) which acts as a filter. As blood passes through the dialyzer, a special fluid called dialysate flows on the other side of a semipermeable membrane. This membrane allows waste products (like urea and creatinine) and excess electrolytes to move from the blood into the dialysate, while keeping essential blood components like red blood cells and proteins within the blood. Simultaneously, excess fluid is removed from the blood through a process called ultrafiltration, driven by a pressure gradient. Dialysis chairs are specifically designed to provide comfort and support to patients during these lengthy treatments, often lasting several hours. They are typically adjustable, allowing for optimal positioning during dialysis and facilitating easy access for medical personnel.

Reliable and advanced dialysis equipment is crucial across a spectrum of healthcare facilities in South Africa to manage the growing burden of kidney disease. From large, tertiary referral centres to smaller, community-based clinics, the need for effective haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis solutions spans various settings. Ensuring equitable access to life-sustaining treatments requires understanding the specific requirements of each facility type and department.
