    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing fibers, notably of polysaccharide or collagen, by wet spinning under coagulation, said method notably comprising: a step for extruding a coagulable macromolecular assembly solution through a normal die; at least one partial coagulation cycle comprising a coagulation step on the one hand and a step for interrupting the coagulation on the other hand; and a step for receiving, notably by winding up, the obtained hollow fiber. The invention also relates to multi-membrane hollow fibers consisting of a same macromolecular assembly which may be spun by coagulation, notably a natural or modified natural polysaccharide in the physical hydrogel or partly dehydrated state. Said fibers including at least over their length two superposed coaxial membranes separated from each other by an inter-membrane space. The invention also relates to the spinning device for applying said method.
