INTRAVASCULAR NANO-BUBBLING OXYGENATOR

摘要

The present invention provides a intravascular nano-bubbling oxygenator comprises a catheter, capable of being inserted into a blood vessel to transport normal pressure to hyperbaric gas, comprising: a tube wall with one or two lumens, and an opening end, wherein the tube wall partially comprises a plurality of pores; a connector; a gas transporting apparatus, and a control panel with on-line data sensors connections.

主权项

1. An intravascular nano-bubbling oxygenator, comprising:
a catheter comprising a tube wall having a closed end and an opening end, and capable of being inserted into a blood vessel to transport gaseous oxygen, wherein said tube wall has a hydrophobic outer surface and comprises a plurality of nano-sized pores provided along said tube wall toward said closed end, which are provided with sizes ranging from 0.3 nanometer to 500 micrometer; and said catheter has a cross-section area less than three fourths (¾) of the cross-section area of said blood vessel, wherein said tube wall is arrange for guiding said gaseous oxygen to longitudinally flow from said opening end toward said closed end in order to transversely distribute said gaseous oxygen to produce oxygen bubbles through said nano-sized pores directly inside said blood vessel.
