Solution Highlights
O2Cure introduces an innovative technology suitable for the development of long-term blood oxygenators and respiratory assist devices for use in hospitals, clinics and home.
High Performance
Efficient blood-gas exchange using a combination of advanced materials and novel design
Less Damage to Blood
Laminar blood flow with lower driving pressure enables long-term operation in different environments
Pump-less Operation
Low pressure difference facilitates blood flow without a pump to enable development of an artificial lung
Scalable System
O2Cure develops a compact and portable system with fully scaleable capabilities for different blood flow rate
Solid Patent Protection
O2cure has received approved patents in the United States and other countries in the main geographies
See How It Works
O2Cure develops the next generation of blood oxygenators based on Carbon nanotube technology and laminar blood flow design for long term use in hospitals, clinics and the home.
Technology Innovation
- Vertically-aligned Carbon nanotubes arrays replace the perforated polymer tubing of current oxygenators.
- Laminar blood flow reduces the damage to blood components.
- Membrane-less design - Direct blood-gas contact enables efficient gas exchange.
- Significantly lower pressure between input and output allows pump-less operation.
