Abstrakt: A new membrane oxygenator has been introduced by Travenol Laboratories with continued development carried out by Sarns Inc. The polypropylene hollow fibers are wound in a pattern perpendicular to the blood flow path and serve as the conduit for the ventilating gas. The membrane surface area is 1.8 M2. The device contains an integral stainless steel bellows heat exchanger and a temperature probe well built into the blood outlet. The oxygenator is held by a wire frame holder that can be mounted in any direction on the heart lung machine. A selection of various size collapsible PVC venous reservoir bags is available to meet individual patient needs. The venous inlet connector of the bag contains a temperature probe port and a connector for the cardiotomy drain line as well as a recirculation line that attaches to the oxygenator.
