Description

A flexible membrane pivot driven blood pump Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a flexible membrane pivot-driven blood pump. Background Art

[0002] At present, the number of patients with heart failure in China is increasing year by year. One of the effective means of treating late-stage heart failure is the artificial implantation of a mechanical ventricular assist device, mainly a left ventricular assist device. However, most existing left ventricular assist devices are large in size and require highly invasive and high-risk surgical implantation. Therefore, they are usually only used in patients with end-stage heart failure. For patients with heart failure that has not yet reached the end stage, consideration is given to implanting a smaller pump to avoid the above problems and reduce the morbidity rate during surgery. However, standard blood pumps that can be used clinically are mainly divided into axial flow pumps and centrifugal pumps. They are both rotary pumps. The high-speed rotation of their rotors can damage blood components and cause hemolysis, thrombosis and bleeding complications. In addition, they operate at a single pump speed, which will cause the patient's pulse pressure to decrease during clinical use, followed by complications related to continuous non-physiological blood pumping, such as gastrointestinal bleeding, aortic valve insufficiency or stroke. Therefore, researchers have developed a pulsation algorithm for this rotary pump to improve flushing and thus reduce the formation of thrombi.

[0003] During use of the artificial blood pump in the prior art, neither the inlet connector nor the outlet connector on the existing artificial blood pump has a fastening mechanism to fasten the hose. When the hose is connected, it can only be inserted into the two connectors by utilizing its elasticity, resulting in poor stability between the hose and the connector.
