In our series of posts on ECLS (extracorporeal life support) devices, following Spectrum Medical, Recuscitec and Inspira, we have now examined ECMOLIFE by the Italian manufacturer Eurosets.
ECMOLIFE can provide both ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) and MCS (mechanical circulatory support). It lowers the risks of hemolysis and blood stagnation, while its non-invasive sensor system allows the monitoring of 10 patient parameters.
