DeBakey pump

A DeBakey pump is a type of blood pump used in medical settings to support or replace the heart’s function. It is a precisely engineered device that moves blood through the body by gently compressing a biocompatible tube, mimicking natural blood flow. Often used in surgeries or critical care, the DeBakey pump helps maintain circulation when the heart is weak or temporarily unable to pump effectively. Its design allows for continuous, reliable blood flow with minimal damage to blood cells, making it an important tool in lifesaving procedures and heart support systems.
