CYLINDRICAL WATER HEATER/OXYDIZER

摘要

A combined blood heater/oxygenator device (10) has a generally cylindrical shape and a blood flow path which extends radially from a central blood distribution chamber (50) through a first annular bundle of longitudinally extending heat exchange fibers (70) and then through a second annular bundle of longitudinally extending gas exchange fibers (74). The device provides a compact easily manufactured structure with a low priming volume.
