Flow visualization study on centrifugal blood pump using a high speed video camera.

abstract：:Over the past several years, we have developed novel titanium-niobium-zirconium (Ti-Nb-Zr) alloys to address the long-term performance needs of orthopedic implants. The unique properties of these alloys also render them promising candidates for blood pumps. These properties include excellent biocompatibility in combin...
