Membrane for oxygenator is mainly porous hollow fiber. Dense membrane has no plasma leak and low permeablity, low strength and high cost. On the hand, porous membrane has high permeablity, low cost and plasma leak. A new thin membrane issilicone-coated porous hollow fiber. This membrane has advantages of dense and porous membranes, and high permeablity, no plasma leak and low cost. A membrane oxygenator should be designed to enhance gas transfer performance so that blood flows outside hollow fibers.
