Abstract

Development have been achieved of a new blood pump for next generation Percutaneous Cardio-Pulmonary Support (PCPS) system and a novel surface coating method for silicone membrane hollow fiber by physical adsorption using a copolymer composed of a 2-Methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) unit and a hydrophobic unit. The new blood pump, named the Troidal Convolution Pump (TCP), is based on the principle of a cascade pump and perfused 5 L/min and 350 mmHg at 2450 rpm. The novel copolymer composed of 30% MPC unit and 3-(methacryloyloxy) propyltris (trimethylsiloxy) silane (MPTSSi) unit (PMMSi30) was the most suitable molecular design on a silicone surface. The PMMSi30 coated surface adsorbed 7.2 % as much protein a non-coated surface adsorbed.
