The dominant problem in the design of an intracorporeal oxygenator is achieving gas transfer rates sufficient for physiological needs in the space available with acceptably low flow resistance to blood. Design problems still to be solved, when configurations with sufficient gas transfer effectiveness are well identified, are biological tolerance (including adequate blood compatibility), ease of manufacture, and prolonged function.
