title: High efficiency membrane oxygenator.
abstract: An adult membrane oxygenator of new design has been described which possesses excellent operating characteristics. The preliminary safety and efficacy of the device was demonstrated by in vitro performance testing and by the minimal blood trauma and absence of significant time dependent change during 6 hr ex vivo perfusions. These encouraging results are the basis for proceeding with clinical studies.
