Embodiment Construction

[0036] exist Figures 1A-1C One embodiment of a capillary bundle 20 according to the principles of the present invention and used as part of an extracorporeal blood circuit heat exchanger apparatus is shown in FIG. Capillary bundle 20 includes a plurality of microdiameter capillaries or heat transfer elements (in Figures 1A-1C Shown schematically in ) 22, core 24 and optional strips or covers 26a, 26b. Details of the various components are provided below. In general, however, the capillaries 22 are formed wound around the core 24 according to the method described below, which involves initially forming the wound capillary bundle subassembly. Strips 26 a , 26 b (where provided) serve to secure the capillary 22 around the core 24 . The capillary bundle 20 can be used in a variety of end use applications, but is particularly useful as a heat exchanger or part of a heat exchanger apparatus used in an extracorporeal blood circuit. In some embodiments, the capillary bundle 20 i...

Abstract

A capillary bundle subassembly for an extracorporeal blood circuit heat exchanger includes a continuous piece of capillary tubing (22) wrapped around a core (24) to define a plurality of capillary layers, each layer including a plurality of capillary segments. The capillary segments respectively define opposite terminal ends adjacent opposite ends of the core. The capillary segments of each layer are aligned circumferentially relative to the central axis of the core, with each subsequent layer radially outward relative to the preceding layer. The capillary segment is non-parallel to the axis so as to be partially coiled about the axis extending between opposing terminal ends. Each capillary segment forms less than a full turn (ie, less than 360° of winding). The segments within each layer are generally parallel to each other, however, the orientation of the segments varies from layer to layer, such as a slope or angle.

Description

Background technique [0001] The present invention relates to capillary element heat exchangers. More specifically, the present invention relates to capillaries for use in extracorporeal blood circuit heat exchangers and related methods of manufacture. [0002] Fluid-to-fluid heat exchangers are used in many different industries and are often configured in conjunction with the desired end use. For example, heat exchangers are important components of extracorporeal bypass or cardiopulmonary bypass circuits. For reference, an extracorporeal blood circuit is typically used during cardiopulmonary bypass (ie, a cardiopulmonary bypass machine) to withdraw blood from the venous portion of the patient's circulatory system and return blood to the arterial portion. An extracorporeal blood circuit typically includes venous lines, venous blood line reservoirs, blood pumps, oxygenators, heat exchangers, arterial lines, and blood delivery tubing, ports, and connections interconnecting thes...
