Amount of blood cells remaining in residual blood clots and evaluation of blood cell adhesion to the membranes. a Amounts of eluted hemoglobin and b LDH activity in the eluate of each sample. The open circles show the data for the PS (n = 8), and the grey circles show the data for the NV-PS (n = 8). The hemoglobin content and the LDH activity in the eluate from the NV-PS were both significantly lower than those from the PS, meaning that less residual blood clots occurred with the NV-PS (hemoglobin: p < 0.01, LDH: * p < 0.05, Wilcoxon signed-rank test)
