CENTRIFUGAL BLOOD PUMP WITH TAPERED SHAFT SEAL ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A centrifugal blood pump has a tapered seal between a pump housing wall and a hub of an impeller which provides a fluid tight seal interface surrounding a drive shaft which is connected to the impeller and which extends through the pump housing wall . The tapered seal has a maximum radial dimension adjacent to the wall and a minimum radial dimension adjacent the hub so that air bubbles (which seek the smallest shaft diameter) will not insulate the seal interface edges from fluid flow. The seal interface , which is perpendicular to the drive shaft axis, is located in a high flow area between the wall and the hub to increase cooling effects.
