High-performance, low prime volume oxygenators designed to meet a wide variety of patient needs. |
A 32 µm screen filter surrounds the fiber layer of the oxygenator.
Particulate micro-emboli that may be present in the blood is trapped in the filter mesh while gaseous emboli remain inside the oxygenator and in contact with the hollow fibers.
Driven by the pressure difference, gaseous emboli enter the inner lumen of the microporous hollow fiber and are eliminated via the gas outlet.
