Abstract: A device for oxygenating blood during extracorporeal circulation includes a box-like body having a first end and a second end opposite thereto and defining therebetween a treatment chamber with an inner surface. The device further includes, in the treatment chamber, at least one exchange unit having at least one flat diaphragm that is impervious to blood and has a major axis and a minor axis. The diaphragm has a winding of hollow microporous fibers. The device further includes an inlet port and an outlet port axially aligned with one another in an alignment direction. A compartment is provided for accumulation and delivery of blood to be treated, another compartment for collecting treated blood, the compartments being located downstream of the inlet port and upstream of the outlet port, between the exchange unit and the inner surface of the treatment chamber. The diaphragm is disposed with the major axis parallel to the alignment direction.

Abstract: A portable medical apparatus (1) for cardiopulmonary aid to patients (P) comprises: an extracorporeal circuit (500) for circulating the blood of a patient (P), which in turn comprises a line (200) for drawing venous blood from a patient (P) and a line (300) for returning arterial blood to said patient (P); at least one filtering arrangement (5, 6) placed on said extracorporeal circuit (500); a pumping unit (10) for pumping blood along the extracorporeal circuit (500); a heat exchanger (100) having an exchange body (101) for thermoregulating blood in said extracorporeal circuit (500); an oxygenator unit (111) for blood oxygenation; said medical apparatus comprising a transportable machine body (2) in which at least one seat (21) is formed for removable coupling with said exchange body (101).

Abstract: A wearable system for performing purifying therapies on organic fluids with the use of extracorporeal circuits includes a clothing article wearable by a patient, in which at least one disposable extracorporeal circuit is removably housed. The wearable clothing article has a line for drawing, from a patient drawing point, organic fluid to be purified, and a line for returning, to a patient infusion point, purified organic fluid. A filter is included for filtering the organic fluid to be purified, arranged between the drawing line and the return line. A first pump is provided for pumping, along the extracorporeal circuits, the organic fluid to be purified and the purified organic fluid. A means for collecting and storing fluid residues filtered from the organic fluid to be purified, is connected to the filter via a collection line. The extracorporeal circuit includes an anti-thrombogenic covering.
