  • Publication number: 20240115781
    Abstract: Systems and apparatuses for blood oxygenation are disclosed. A system includes a first layer defining a plurality of banks of first channels each extending in a first direction. The plurality of banks of first channels are configured to receive blood via a trunk channel. The system includes a second layer defining a bank of second channels extending in a second direction. The bank of second channels are configured to receive oxygen. The first direction is different from the second direction. The system includes a membrane disposed between the first layer and the second layer and configured to cause the oxygen to permeate from the second layer to the first layer to oxygenate the blood.
