Abstract
Figure 1 presents a schematic diagram of an assembled oxygenator unit. In operation, oxygenating gas is introduced into the central distributor from both ends, passing out radially over the capillary bundle through a series of perforations in the distributor, and exiting through the two central ports to the atmosphere. Venous blood is introduced through one of the two outer ports, entering a small mixing chamber from which it passes through a header into the capillary bundle. Gas exchange is accomplished as the blood proceeds through the capillaries. The oxygenated blood then exits via the header on the other end.
