Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a dialyzer that is constituted to be provided with an potting material which supports a fine fiber bundle at each end section of a cylindrical body and can eliminate such a difference in force that causes distortion, breakage, or blockage in fine fibers by making the pressure of a dialyzate flow to the microfiber bundle uniform. SOLUTION: The internal surface 32 of the potting material 26 is made to be hardened in a non-flat surface by forcibly moving the material 26 to both ends of the chamber of this dialyzer by spinning the dialyzer at a high speed in a centrifugal machine. A dialyzate fluid distribution ring 51 forms a space 56 between the chamber and a dialyzate inlet/outlet 22 in this dialyzer and supports the microfiber bundle 18 against the flow pressure of the dialyzate. The peripheral edge 50 of the ring 51 reduces the distortion, breakage, and blockage of the microfibers 18 by maintaining surely and constantly the supported state of the bundle 18 from the lateral side almost coincidently with the non-flat internal surface 32 of the material 26.
