Filter for removal of leucocytes is provided, wherein the filter is coated
with a natural polymer of chitosan which has a good blood compatibility
and no side effect in human body on an ultrafine non-woven fabric. This
blood filter provides a high removal rate of leucocytes as well as good
recovery of platelets and red blood cells due to secondary filtration
through electrostatic power between a leucocyte and a cationic residue
provided by chitosan on the surface of the non-woven fabric.
