Polyester Screen Filter 40 SORIN Sorin pead arterial filter, Max Blood Flow 8Lmin

The utilization of arterial line filters has long been a standard of practice in the environment of cardiopulmonary bypass. Sorin biomedica has designed an adult hollow, Fiber oxygenator that not only incorporates their mimesys biomimicry coating technology but also has a 40, Micron arterial filter as an integrated component of this unique membrane oxygenator. We did a prospective, Randomized clinical trial of 54 synthesis coated oxygenators and compared them with 54 uncoated monolyth the latter, Pro oxygenators of which incorporated an external arterial line filter with a standard bypass loop there were few statistically significant differences found between the synthesis group and the monolyth group with hemodynamic resistance, And platelet drop, Regard to pressure differentials. The synthesis oxygenator did require less but the, Priming volume amount was not significant. Platelet counts with the phosphorylcholine coated using crystalloid, Synthesis oxygenators perfusates, Was similar to our previously published data on platelet protection and albumin perfusates. We conclude that the sorin synthesis oxygenator appears to have better flow characteristics than the monolyth oxygenator, With the potential for lower priming volumes. The most clinically significant benefit comes from the eradication of the arterial filter bypass loop and the avoidance of inverting the arterial filter during priming.
