The Need: Air bubbles injected into human body during medical treatments where blood or fluids are rapidly or continually infused to the patient body, such as hemodialysis and open-heart surgeries, cause damage to essential organs such as the lung and brain. More than 30% of hemodialysis patients suffer from the fatal condition of pulmonary hypertension. Approximately 35% of open-heart surgery patients suffer from long term brain damage. These problems are associated with the injection of air bubbles during the procedures.
