Ex vivo
External Blood Circulation System
The gravity based gentle liquid pumping technology can potentially be used in critical applications where delicate media needs to be protected from external mechanical forces and shearing effects. Such applications include for instance autotransfusion and apheresis, or organ transplantation and transportation. The non-destructive mode of operation of the pump preserves the integrity of sensitive biological fluids, such as blood for instance. This will result in minimal unwanted damage and quality loss*.
Organ Transplantation
Organ preservation is crucial for successful transplantation. Normothermic perfusion is typically used for maintaining continuous blood supply ex vivo during the transplantation and transportation process. Thus, protecting the blood from damage caused by pumps is essential. The non-destructive nature of the pump technology can help prevent unwanted blood cell damage to enhance the quality of blood perfusion in transplantation applications.
Application examples:
⇒ Organ perfusion
⇒ Organ quality assessment
⇒ Transportation of organs
Autotransfusion and Apheresis
Ensuring highly controllable and gentle liquid pumping, the gravity based pump technology protects blood cells from unwanted damage by the pumping motion. This preserves the integrity and quality of the blood, and enhances patient safety and treatment efficacy. The pump provides reliable and efficient blood handling, making it ideal for sensitive procedures such as autotransfusion and apheresis among others.
