technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of medical devices, in particular to an impeller and a ventricular assist device. Background technique
[0002] As an effective means of treating heart failure patients, a ventricular assist device is an artificial mechanical device that pumps blood directly from the venous system or the heart into the arterial system, partially or completely replacing the work of the ventricle.
[0003] Ventricular assist devices mostly use impeller rotation to pressurize, and the impellers are balanced by hydraulic thrust or magnetic force, thereby suspending in the inner cavity of the ventricular assist device. When the impeller is not rotating, the impeller is close to the inner wall of the ventricular assist device. When the impeller starts to rotate, the sliding of the impeller relative to the inner wall will generate frictional resistance. Excessive frictional resistance will hinder the suspension of the impeller, which is not ...
