Ozone dialysis delivers three or more times the ozone than other forms of ozone blood treatment

Abstract

Therapeutic use of ozone is becoming increasingly prevalent worldwide. New methods of administration are emerging. One of these emerging techniques, which we refer to as ozone dialysis, uses a dialysis membrane that allows blood to flow against a countercurrent of ozone gas. We found that ozone uptake by continuous countercurrent blood flow is at least 3 times higher than any comparable form of blood ozone administration currently available. This is thefirst quantitative report of ozone uptake by blood using the ozone dialysis technique.
