Core structure for blood oxygenators

摘要

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