Abstract
We describe injectable magnetic nanospheres as a vehicle for selective detoxification of blood borne toxins. Surface receptors on the freely circulating nanospheres bind to toxins. A hand-held extracorporeal magnetic filter separates the toxin-loaded nanospheres from the clean blood, which is returned to the patient. Details of the technology concept are given and include a state-of-knowledge and research needs.
