Compact Heat Exchanger For Veno-Venous Perfusion-Induced Systemic Hyperthermia Systems

US Patent:
2013021, Aug 15, 2013
Filed:
Aug 13, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/584696
Inventors:
Dongfang Wang - Lexington KY, US
Joseph B. Zwischenberger - Lexington KY, US
Assignee:
The University of Kentucky Research Foundation - Lexington KY
International Classification:
A61F 7/00
US Classification:
607106
Abstract:
A compact heat exchanger for veno-venous perfusion-induced hyperthermia includes an integral pneumatic pump and a hollow tubule heat exchange array. A veno-venous perfusion-induced hyperthermia system incorporating the compact heat exchanger is described. The heat exchanger provides a compact, efficient design allowing a lesser heat exchanging surface area and lesser required pumping power compared to conventional systems. In turn, the system provides a shorter blood circuit compared to conventional systems, allowing maintaining a lower blood temperature than such conventional systems while supplying sufficiently heated blood to patient visceral organs to provide a therapeutic effect, such as in supplementing chemotherapy drugs.

Blood Access Assembly For Artificial Lung And Right Ventricular Assist Device

US Patent:
2011004, Feb 17, 2011
Filed:
Aug 11, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/539110
Inventors:
Dongfang Wang - Lexington KY, US
Joseph B. Zwischenberger - Lexington KY, US
International Classification:
A61M 5/00, A61M 1/00
US Classification:
604 28, 604 30, 604 9, 604 43
Abstract:
A system for providing access to at least one heart chamber for delivering and/or removing a fluid includes a selectively occludable conduit defining a lumen for providing access to an interior of at least one heart chamber from an exterior of a chest wall of the patient, and a dual lumen cannula adapted for passing through an interior lumen of the conduit. The selectively occludable conduit includes at least one balloon closure for substantially sealing an end of the conduit in fluid communication with the chamber of the heart. The dual lumen cannula includes a first, drainage lumen having at least one aperture for removing a fluid from the interior of the heart chamber, and a second, delivery lumen for delivering a fluid into the interior of the heart chamber. The delivery lumen may include an extendable infusion sleeve for delivering a fluid into an interior of the heart.

Even Perfusion Pump-Integrated Blood Oxygenator

US Patent:
2013009, Apr 18, 2013
Filed:
Aug 13, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/584704
Inventors:
Dongfang Wang - Lexington KY, US
Joseph B. Zwischenberger - Lexington KY, US
Assignee:
The University of Kentucky Research Foundation - Lexington KY
International Classification:
A61M 1/26
US Classification:
422 48
Abstract:
A blood oxygenator includes an integral pneumatic pump disposed substantially within a housing thereof, an inlet blood flow redirector, and an outflow blood collector. An atrium provided at an inlet of the oxygenator promotes even delivery of blood to the oxygenator. In use, the oxygenator provides an even dispersion of blood therethrough, establishing even perfusion and reducing areas of stagnant blood flow.
