Hyperoxygenation/hyperthermia treatment apparatus
10293095 · 2019-05-21 ·

The described invention is a hyperthermia and hyperoxygenation medical apparatus for treating diseases of the blood and purification of stored blood supplies. The invention comprises a hollow chamber through which blood is made to flow. Within the hollow chamber are a heating element and a gas diffuser. As blood flows through the chamber, blood is heated to a preset limit while ozone or other beneficial gas is diffused into the blood by a diffuser with pores to a preset concentration. After heating and gasification, blood exits the hollow chamber and is either returned to the patient or returned to storage. The hollow chamber, heating element and gas diffuser are designed to maintain efficient, linear blood flow through the invention, in part by taking advantage of die radial symmetry of the hollow chamber and diffuser designs. Linear flow ensures uniform and controlled heating and gasification of the blood with negligible undesirable turbulence to the blood components.
