We have devised a technique that will greatly simplify and make cost effective the fabrication of dense silicone fibers for use in gas exchange applications including long-term extracorporeal life support, implantable artificial lung, and other cardiorespiratory procedures. The technique allows for… More

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposed Phase 1 work is aimed at developing a new and greatly improved long term estracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO) sized for newborn babies afflicted with severe respiratory and/or cardiac failure. The only oxygenator currently used for this purpose… More

DESCRIPTION (provided by Investigator): This proposed Phase II work is aimed at continuing the research and development of a new and greatly improved long-term extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO) for patients afflicted with severe respiratory and/or cardiac failure. In Phase I we demonstrated… More

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): MedArray has successfully developed under SBIR Phase I and II, a novel silicone membrane hollow fiber for use in blood oxygenators. Our patented silicone hollow fiber has great commercial potential for use in long term extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)… More

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposed Phase II Renewal is aimed at finalizing the research and development of a new and greatly improved long term extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO) for patients afflicted with severe respiratory and/orcardiac failure. Results from Phase II work… More
