Abstract: We have developed a compact, seal-less, all- a flow rate of 8 L/min against 250 mm Hg at 2,400 rpm, purpose centrifugal pump, the Baylor C-Gyro pump, and an index of hemolysis (IH) of 0.0083 gAO0 L using which is intended as a long-term ventricular assist device bovine blood. In the second model, the C1 Eccentric Inlet (VAD) as well as a cardiopulmonary bypass pump. In Port Model, the inlet bearing support bar in the prototype attaining this goal, we began with eliminating the shaft were eliminated without reducing the prototype’s perfor- seals by adopting a pivot bearing system at the impeller mance. These designs for antithrornbogenicity are being shaft. In addition, a ring magnet encased in the bottom of tested by the first in vivo experiment, which has lasted for the impeller was coupled magnetically to a driver magnet more than 2 weeks. Key Words: Seal-less centrifugal placed outside the pump housing (C1 Prototype). This C-Gyro pumpventricular assist device-Eccentric inlet first model yielded satisfactory performance in vitro with port design-Implantable ventricular assist device. The most important condition for a long-term
