Abstract: An axial-flow blood pump has a rotatable impeller assembly rotatable about an axis and itself having a radially projecting blade and permanent magnets, A stationary stator assembly has stator windings interacting with the permanent magnets and a bearing system supporting the rotatable impeller assembly for rotation about the axis relative to the stator assembly. A stent implantable into a blood vessel is connected to ends of supports for coaxially mounting the stator assembly carrying the impeller assembly in the stent.

Abstract: The invention relates to an axial flow blood pump device comprising an integrated electromagnetic drive with a stationary stator assembly and a rotatable impeller assembly, wherein the stationary stator assembly at least comprises stator windings (3) and a bearing system (4) supporting the rotatable impeller assembly, the impeller assembly comprising at least one blade (9) and permanent magnets (10) interacting with the stator windings (3), wherein the stationary stator assembly comprises supporting elements (8) for mounting, in particular coaxially mounting the device in the interior of an anchoring system (7) being implantable into a vessel.

Abstract: An intravenous oxygenator for enriching blood with oxygen, said oxygenator having a bundle of fibers, said fibers being each connected to a gas supply means through a first connection and to a gas evacuation means through a second connection, with the fiber bundle being twisted during operation by relative rotation of the first connections of the fibers relative to the second connections of the fibers about a longitudinal axis of the oxygenator. Further, an intravenous oxygenator for insertion into a vein, the connections being respectively connected to a first and to a second fiber holder and being displaceable along a longitudinal axis of the oxygenator, with the fiber holders being mounted so as to be rotatable relative to one another about the longitudinal axis of the oxygenator. Such a constellation permits particularly efficient gas exchange.
