Abstract
This invention is a non-contact axial flow turbo blood pump for propelling blood, which is composed of a pump housing ( ) that defines a pump axis, with inlet, outlet openings at opposite axial ends of the pump housing, a rotor unit ( ) that defines a rotor axis, and opposing rotor axial ends. The pump magnetically suspends the rotor within the pump housing at the rotor axial ends so as to avoid causing physical contact between the housing to define fluid gaps between the rotor axial ends, and the magnetic suspension elements ( )( ′).
