Abstract

The invention relates to a rotor (2, 15) for a fluid pump (1), in particular for use in the medical sphere, the rotor being compressible for bringing to the place of use and thereafter being expandable. The compressibility is assisted by the provision of cavities (27, 28, 29), in particular also production of the rotor at least partially from a foam.
