A biological fluid transport device comprises a cutwater at the junction of at least two blood flow paths. The cutwater is substantially straight, substantially vertical, or both. At least one of the fluid paths may be tubular, and in some embodiments all of the fluid paths are tubular. The shear sensitive fluid may be, without limitation, blood, blood-based combinations, cell culture media, cell suspensions, proteins, and microcapsule suspensions. The device may be part of an extracorporeal circuit (e.g., blood during heart- lung bypass procedures or blood processing), but it need not be. Preferred embodiments of the device include, without limitation, kinetic pumps, mass transfer devices, filters, reservoirs, and heat exchangers.

L'invention concerne un dispositif de transport de fluides biologiques, comportant une languette située à la jonction d'au moins deux voies d'écoulement de sang. La languette est sensiblement droite, sensiblement verticale, ou les deux à la fois. Au moins une des voies de fluide peut être tubulaire, et dans certains modes de réalisation, toutes les voies de fluide sont tubulaires. Le fluide sensible au cisaillement peut être, de façon non restrictive, du sang, des combinaisons à base de sang, des milieux de culture cellulaire, des suspensions de cellules, des protéines, et des suspensions de microcapsules. Le dispositif peut constituer une partie d'un circuit extracorporel (p. ex. sang au cours de circulations extracorporelles ou de traitement de sang), mais pas nécessairement. Des modes de réalisation préférés du dispositif comprennent notamment, de façon non restrictive, des pompes cinétiques, des dispositifs de transfert de masse, des filtres, des réservoirs et des échangeurs thermiques.
