The present disclosure provides a micro water pump, including: a pump body having a cavity, an inlet communicating with the cavity, and an outlet communicating with the cavity; a drive mechanism installed on the pump body for driving liquid from the inlet into the cavity and discharging from the outlet. The pump body includes a base, an upper cover engaging with the base for forming the cavity, and a barrier member. The upper cover includes a fixed wall located in the cavity. The barrier member protrudes from the fixed wall for preventing the drive mechanism from colliding and rubbing with the fixed wall during rotation. By virtue of the configuration, improved heat-dissipation performance is performed.

The present invention relates to a pump, in particular a blood pump having a proximal and a distal end and a pump housing arranged therebetween, a driveshaft arranged in an interior of the pump housing along the longitudinal direction, a conveying element arranged on the driveshaft, and a cannula. Here, the pump housing, the shaft arrangement and the conveying element are coordinated with one another in such a way that these guarantee the best possible efficiency and longevity of the pump.

Implantable devices may include a single, first component or a plurality of components such as first and second components, the second component being flexibly coupled to the first component. A socket extends over one or more of the component(s), the socket being configured to enhance the inter-component interaction and/or including one or more exposed surface(s) configured to exhibit one or more tiers of foreign body responses within a range of possible foreign body responses.

Disclosed herein is a catheter pump that includes an expandable cannula and an impeller system. The expandable cannula defines a blood flow channel and includes an impeller blade zone, an inlet zone, and an outlet zone. The catheter pump further includes an impeller system including an impeller body, the impeller system movable relative to the expandable cannula along a longitudinal axis of the catheter pump. The catheter pump is selectively transitionable between a separated configuration in which the impeller body is axially spaced from the expandable cannula along the longitudinal axis, and an operational configuration in which the impeller body is positioned within the impeller blade zone of the expandable cannula.

A magnetic levitation centrifugal pump comprises: an internally hollow body, an inlet connector and an outlet connector for blood. The hollow body comprises a lower element and an upper element which are mutually coupled to each other; a rotor element housed inside the hollow body and provided with a portion made of magnetic material, the rotor element being magnetically commanded in rotation about a relative axis, without contact, by a stator element associable with the hollow body. The upper element has a perimeter flange for coupling and a substantially dome-shaped body projecting from the perimeter flange. The outlet connector is associated with the dome-shaped body and is spaced away from the perimeter flange, between the outlet connector and the perimeter flange being defined an air space inside which mutual tightening device/component can be inserted for the tightening of the upper element with the lower element.

This invention concerns an intravascular blood pump for percutaneous insertion into a patient's blood vessel. The blood pump comprises a pump casing having a blood flow inlet and a blood flow outlet, and an impeller arranged in said pump casing so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation. The impeller has blades sized and shaped for conveying blood from the blood flow inlet to the blood flow outlet. The blood pump comprises a drive unit for rotating the impeller, the drive unit comprising a plurality of posts arranged about the axis of rotation. Each of the posts has a longitudinal axis and an impeller-side end pointing towards the impeller. A coil winding is disposed around each of the posts and has an impeller-side end pointing towards the impeller. The coil windings are controllable so as to create a rotating magnetic field, wherein the impeller comprises a magnetic structure arranged to interact with the rotating magnetic field so as to cause rotation of the impeller. The posts do not extend with their impeller-side ends radially over the impeller-side ends of the coil winding disposed around the respective posts, wherein the term radially relates to the longitudinal axis of the posts.
