Nautilus™ ECMO oxygenator with Balance™ biosurface
The Nautilus™ ECMO oxygenator with Balance™ biosurface, featuring a circular flow-path design, is ready to be incorporated into an ECMO circuit.
Description
The Nautilus™ ECMO oxygenator is designed specifically for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), featuring:
- Long-term† ECMO indication
- PMP fiber
- Balance™ biosurface
- Circular flow-path design
Features
Changing the shape of ECMO
View the animation to see how the Nautilus™ ECMO oxygenator can improve long-term gas transfer and is built for durability and long-term performance.1
Circular flow-path technology
The Nautilus™ ECMO oxygenator has a transverse flow-path with a circular profile. Transverse flow minimizes surface contact area while achieving a low blood-side pressure drop. The circular profile eliminates corners where low flow and stasis are known to occur.
Circular shape
Eliminates corners, areas known for clotting
Guided inlet‡
Reduces velocity changes at the inlet where low flow and stasis may occur
Filling vanes
Aid in even filling and even flow distribution across the membrane

Carbon dioxide transfer
Potential complications related to the use of ECMO devices include, but are not limited to, heart, vessel, or lung damage, hypoxia, anemia, irritation, toxic reaction, infection, hemorrhage, liver or kidney failure, stroke, and death. The benefits of extracorporeal support must be weighed against the risk of systemic anticoagulation and must be assessed by the prescribing physician.
