1. A filtration system, said filtration system comprising a bundle of hollow fibres and a restraining system for the hollow fibres, said restraining system comprising a plurality of longitudinally extending elements spaced from one another and supported by a plurality of discrete spacer elements, said spacer elements extending generally transverse of said longitudinally extending elements, wherein said spacer elements and said longitudinally extending elements are arranged to define a cage-like structure, wherein the restraining system comprises a terminating adaptor ring, and wherein the terminating adaptor ring comprises an inner ring comprising a plurality of openings configured to allow passage of a fluid therethrough.2. A filtration system according to claim 1, wherein the cage-like structure comprises a tubular shape.3. A filtration system according to claim 1, wherein the longitudinally extending elements comprise rods and the spacer elements comprise rings.4. A filtration system according to claim 3, wherein each ring comprises a plurality of radially extending cut-outs spaced around a periphery of the ring, each cut-out configured to provide an interference-fit or snap-fit with an associated rod.5. A filtration system according to claim 4, wherein the cut-outs are equally-spaced around the periphery of the ring.6. A filtration system according to claim 3, wherein each ring comprises a cushioning element, wherein the cushioning element is situated on the internal surface of the ring.7. A filtration system according to claim 6, wherein the cushioning element extends past a length of the ring at both ends of the ring so as to overlap the internal edges of the ring.8. A filtration system according to claim 7, wherein the cushioning element comprises a foam material.9. A filtration system according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the longitudinally extending elements and the spacer elements comprises a generally rigid plastic material.10.

A filtration system according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the longitudinally extending elements and the spacer elements is a machined element.13. A filtration system according to claim 1, wherein the terminating adaptor ring is configured to mount the restraining system to a potting sleeve.14. A filtration system, said filtration system comprising a bundle of hollow fibres and a restraining system for the hollow fibres, said restraining system comprising a plurality of longitudinally extending elements spaced from one another and supported by a plurality of discrete spacer elements, said spacer elements extending generally transverse of said longitudinally extending elements, wherein said spacer elements and said longitudinally extending elements are arranged to define a cage-like structure, wherein the restraining system comprises a terminating adaptor ring, and wherein the terminating adaptor ring comprises a radial extending circumferential rib.15. A filtration system according to claim 14, wherein the radial extending circumferential rib comprises a plurality of cut-outs for engaging with the longitudinally extending elements.16. A filtration system according to claim 15, wherein a number of cut-outs on the radial extending circumferential rib is the same as a number of cut-outs on at least one of the spacer elements.17. A filtration system according to claim 1, wherein the spacer elements are arranged in closely-spaced pairs.18. A filtration system according to claim 1, wherein a number density of longitudinally extending elements varies along a length of the cage-like structure.19. A filtration system according to claim 14, wherein the cage-like structure comprises a tubular shape.20. A filtration system according to claim 14, wherein the longitudinally extending elements comprise rods and the spacer elements comprise rings.21. A filtration system according to claim 20, wherein each ring comprises a plurality of radially extending cut-outs spaced around a periphery of the ring, each cut-out configured to provide an interference-fit or snap-fit with an associated rod.22. A filtration system according to claim 21, wherein the cut-outs are equally-spaced around the periphery of the ring.23. A filtration system according to claim 20, wherein each ring comprises a cushioning element, wherein the cushioning element is situated on the internal surface of the ring.24. A filtration system according to claim 23, wherein the cushioning element extends past a length of the ring at both ends of the ring so as to overlap the internal edges of the ring.25. A filtration system according to claim 24, wherein the cushioning element comprises a foam material.26. A filtration system according to claim 14, wherein at least one of the longitudinally extending elements and the spacer elements comprises a generally rigid plastic material.27. A filtration system according to claim 26, wherein the generally rigid plastic material comprises nylon or acrylonitrile butadiene styrene.28. A filtration system according to claim 14, wherein at least one of the longitudinally extending elements and the spacer elements is a molded element.29. A filtration system according to claim 14, wherein at least one of the longitudinally extending elements and the spacer elements is a machined element.30. A filtration system according to claim 29, wherein the terminating adaptor ring is configured to mount the restraining system to a potting sleeve.31. A filtration system according to claim 14, wherein the spacer elements are arranged in closely-spaced pairs.32. A filtration system according to claim 14, wherein a number density of longitudinally extending elements varies along a length of the cage-like structure.
