Abstract

A hollow fiber module of a device for separating fluids has hollow fibers with walls that have partially permeable structures. The hollow fibers are positioned parallel to each other. At least one areal fluid-permeable spacer medium with a structure that is self-supporting an areal state of the at least one spacer medium is provided and arranged between the hollow fibers such that the at least one spacer medium surrounds at least partially circumferentially a first one of two neighboring hollow fibers at least on a side of the first hollow fiber that is facing the second one of the two neighboring hollow fibers.
