Abstrakt: Fiber bundling refers to the process of winding hollow polypropylene fibers onto the central core of a membrane oxygenator. Identifying the various bundling techniques serves to facilitate the clinician's understanding of unique device characteristics and the subsequent manufacturing process. This technical information has been voluntarily provided by the product managers and engineers of current membrane manufacturers. Currently the industry employs four primary bundling techiques: single strand, mat configuration, tape and helical.
