profusion, perfusion

Profusion or profusion means a large quantity, an abundance --
I can tell you didn't proofread your work by the profusion of errors.
There has been a profusion of messages and calls; we haven't had time to answer them all.

Perfusion or perfusion means spreading liquid over something, or pumping liquid through something --
The new equipment will produce a much more even perfusion of color on the fabric.
A pump will be used during the operation, to imitate natural perfusion.

Now that you know that, you can say --
"The clinic has received a profusion of inquiries regarding the new perfusion device."
