MODULAR DISPOSABLE BLOOD OXYGENATORS WITH REUSABLE HEAT SOURCE AND OPTIONAL INTEGRATED BLOOD PUMP

摘要

A blood oxygenator system / heat exchanger (10) includes disposable and durable components, they can be permanently mounted to reduce the cost advantage, disadvantages and risks of use. The system may include a blood pump (136) of the axial type, centrifugal or ventricular included an internal venous blood reservoir (206). Through the arrangement and combination of structural elements cooperation, blood pumping volume is decreased, the flow paths of avangateux blood are obtained, potential blood damage is reduced, and durable components can be reused in order to lower costs. The oxygenator / heat exchanger (58) engage on a base durable heat source (24) which plays the role of carrier, border elements being provided between the blood and heat transfer media.
