Oxygenator module, oxygenator and production method

A method for producing a module for a multi-fluid fiber apparatus, particularly an oxygenator module for an oxygenator of an extracorporeal lung support system, with the following steps:

• a) arranging a majority of hollow fiber layers within a mold where the hollow fibers of one of the layers are oriented at an angle of rotation about a central longitudinal axis of the oxygenator module with respect to the hollow fibers of another one of the layers;
• b) arranging the mold with respect to an axis of rotation of a centrifuge;
• c) feeding potting compound into the mold;
• d) rotating the mold about the axis of rotation order to exert a centrifugal force on the potting compound in order to arrange the potting compound radially outward in the mold, particularly at the same time as step c);
• e) curing the potting compound in order to fix the hollow fiber layers, particularly in continuous rotation;
• f) removing the potting compound together with the hollow fiber layers from the mold or at least from a part of the mold;
• wherein in step b), the mold is arranged about the axis of rotation in such a way that the axis of rotation lies within the mold, whereas in step d), a cavity with an essentially circular inner sheath surface of the potting compound is formed.
