The invention described herein consists of an oxygen deliver source for
local blood or tissue oxygenation. The invention consists of porous
polymer structures being part of a medical device from which a liquid
oxygen carrier is locally or systemically released. The substrate
membrane impregnated with the oxygen carrier may be a part of a tube, a
balloon, a perfusion balloon, a stent and a wire. The substrate membrane
is sealed with a removable housing for the oxygen carrier to allow
storage of the medical device.
