Prescriptive Oxygenation™ is Terumo’s unique approach to helping you customize each patient’s oxygenation and blood management needs with the freedom to choose the right CAPIOX® oxygenator from a range of sizes.

Based on their body surface area, a significant number of patients would benefit from a smaller or mid-sized oxygenator designed to better match their actual metabolic needs all while decreasing hemodilution and other risks associated with cardiopulmonary bypass. Studies have shown that controlling hemodilution through lower prime volume circuits can result in fewer blood transfusions.^1,2,3,4,5 That’s why we offer you a choice of three different sizes within our proven CAPIOX line of oxygenators.
