摘要:
A blood membrane oxygenator having a housing defining a blood flow path, a rotor hub in the form of a double lumen shaft, and a plurality of distributor disks each having a plurality of hollow fibers which extend across the housing blood flow path. The plurality of distributor disks rotate within the housing to mix the blood resulting in three-dimensional mixing, disruption of the blood boundary layer and efficient blood oxygenation.

摘要:
Processes are provided for preparing a substrate coated with a biomolecule, comprising: a) providing a substrate; b) coating the substrate with a polysiloxane, typically by exposing the substrate to a reactive gas containing siloxane functional groups and to plasma energy to yield a plasma-deposited polysiloxane surface on the substrate; c) rendering the polysiloxane surface amino functional; and d) contacting the amino-functional polysiloxane surface with a biomolecule under conditions effective to attach the biomolecule to the substrate. The coated substrate may be a medical device that demonstrates an ability to maintain gas permeability when in contact with blood or blood components, compared to a substantially identical medical device that has not been coated with a biomolecule using this process.
摘要:
An apparatus and method related to mass transfer and fluid pump devices. The apparatus generally includes a housing that defines an interior cavity, a diffuser positioned in the interior cavity of the housing, the diffuser comprising porous elements arranged in discrete layers, a diffusion area that is defined by a pre-determined distance between the discrete layers of porous elements. A fluid is accelerated through each diffuser layer and is then de-accelerated in the diffusion area.
