Description:
The Affinity CP Centrifugal Blood Pump series, developed by Medtronic Inc., represents a significant stride forward in high-precision blood flow management. These advanced medical devices serve a profound role in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) procedures, commonly referred to as heart-lung machine usage.
Purpose and Usage
The Affinity CP Centrifugal Blood Pump is primarily used to circulate the patient's blood externally, allowing the heart and lungs to rest during surgeries. It oxygenates the blood and removes carbon dioxide, effectively replacing both the heart and lung functions temporarily.
Unique Features and Benefits
The series includes the Affinity CP Centrifugal Blood Pump with Balanced Biosurface and the Affinity CP Centrifugal Blood Pump with Cortiva BioActive Surface. These variants are designed to minimize damage to blood components, reducing the risk of complications.
The Balanced Biosurface model incorporates an advanced biocompatible surface built to protect blood elements during circulation, enhancing overall blood flow quality and patient safety.
The model with Cortiva BioActive Surface, on the other hand, is carefully designed to provide continuous and uniform biologically active surface coverage throughout the pump's life, creating a healthy interaction between the device material and blood.
The Affinity CP Centrifugal Blood Pump series by Medtronic Inc. is committed to offering patients the benefits of safer, more predictable procedures, and professionals the ease of use and performance assurance they need to provide optimal cardiac care.
