Advanced Surface Coatings to Minimize Pump-Induced Thrombosis in ECMO Systems

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) systems are critical in life-support procedures, providing temporary cardiac and respiratory support for patients with severe heart or lung failure. A key component of these systems is the pump, which circulates blood through the circuit and ensures effective gas exchange. However, the interaction of blood with pump surfaces can lead to […]
