摘要:
An elongated intravenous percutaneous oxygenator is described having a first and a second set of hollow gas permeable and liquid impermeable fibers, the fibers of each set having an input end and an output end, at least three longitudinally spaced manifolds in communication with one of said input ends or output ends of said fibers, gas delivery means in communication with the input ends of said fibers and gas exhaust means in communication with said output ends and inflatable balloon means disposed longitudinally of said oxygenator so as to be surrounded by said fibers, and gas inflation means in communication with said balloon means for inflating and deflating the balloon means.

摘要:
An intravenous fiber membrane oxygenator is disclosed in several embodiments wherein the fibers either run at a transverse angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the oxygenator and/or are of a reduced length to optimize the gas transfer efficiency of the oxygenator. Various helical or spiral wraps of fibers are disclosed. One embodiment utilizes two sets of longitudinally extending fibers wherein the oxygen gas is moved in opposite directions from a central location of the oxygenator.

摘要:
A gas transfer apparatus (12) readily adapted for oxygenating blood includes a housing (14) with a hollow internal chamber (36) having a fiber mat (34) consisting of two sets of intermingled hollow fibers with one set (66) of fibers having micropores formed in the walls thereof and the other set (68) having solid liquid impermeable walls. The housing (14) for the apparatus is designed such that the blood being processed passes substantially uniformly across the entire cross section of the fiber mat (34) whereby a treating gas such as oxygen being directed through the microporous fibers can be diffused into the oxygen deficient blood while excess CO₂ in the blood can cross diffuse into the interior of the fiber and be removed from the apparatus. Simultaneously with the cross diffusion of gas between the microporous fibers and the blood, a thermal conducting fluid such as water is passed through the solid walled fibers to maintain or regulate the temperature of the blood in the apparatus. The microporous and solid walled fibers may be woven in layers (66,68) which are laminated to form a predetermined mat thickness separated by layers with only parallel fibers of a single set in each layer.
