CORE STRUCTURE FOR BLOOD OXYGENATORS

摘要

The obstruction of a curved blood manifold window (27) in a blood oxygenator (10) by oxygenation fibers (46) which lie along a chord (58) of a curved window (27) when wound upon the oxygenator core (44) is avoided by recessing the manifold wall portions (38) most closely adjacent the window (27) sufficiently so that the fibers (46) lying on that chord (58) remain sufficiently spaced from those closest wall portions (38) to allow blood flo w between those wall portions (38) and the closest fibers (46).
