Report Summarizes Artificial Lungs Study Findings from RWTH Aachen University (Membrane Supported Liquid-liquid Oxygenation for Use In Extracorporeal Life Support - Proof of Principle).

A new report from RWTH Aachen University in Germany discusses the development of a membrane-supported liquid-liquid oxygenator as a potential solution for artificial lung systems. The researchers combined hollow fiber technology with historic liquid-liquid approaches to create a stable interface without the risk of embolization. The proof-of-principle oxygenator demonstrated promising gas transfer capabilities without the presence of droplets in the blood. This research provides a potential avenue for further exploration in the field of artificial lungs. [Extracted from the article]
