Aselsan Hlm
The modular heart-lung machine is designed to provide users with the ability to create configurations tailored to the needs of each open-heart surgery. By utilizing a custom-designed layout specific to each surgery, the device's parts contribute to a significant reduction in blood hemolysis, leading to a higher success rate of the postoperative healing process. The design aims to enhance the performance of users during operations by reducing their physical and mental load. The device achieves this by providing clear information and bringing vital interactions closer to them.
