Patent Issued for Blood-gas exchange device and methods of use (USPTO 11938257).

A patent has been issued for a blood-gas exchange device and methods of use. The device, developed by Inspira-Technologies OXY B.H.N. LTD., aims to improve the efficiency of gas exchange and reduce damage to blood components during the process. Unlike existing oxygenators that use fiber membranes or gas bubbles, this device allows for direct contact between blood and gas without the need for a separating membrane. The device utilizes a rotatable chamber that channels the blood along its walls, forming a blood layer that directly contacts the gas and enables gas exchange. This innovative technology has the potential to lower the risk levels associated with the use of oxygenators and reduce manufacturing costs. [Extracted from the article]
