ECMO

In extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), blood is pumped to the cardiac support machine outside the body to remove carbon dioxide and return oxygenated blood to the body. When lung function is impaired and gas exchange cannot be completed, ECMO can be used to transfer venous blood into the ECMO instrument, exchange gas through the extracorporeal membranes, and reinject arterial blood into the body for use by various organs.

Hollow fiber membranes are used in extracorporeal membrane oxygenators (ECMO). The gas transmission rate, biocompatibility and durability of hollow fiber membranes determine the function of ECMO. Cobetter self-developed and produced hollow fiber membrane for ECMO has excellent mechanical strength, high gas transmission capacity, and strong anti-plasma penetration ability, which can replace autologous lung function in in-vitro life support applications.
