Arterial cannulae
<p>The Soft-Flow®* arterial cannula is used in the perfusion of the ascending aorta during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery.</p>
Soft-Flow®* angled-tip arterial cannula showed a lower exit velocity than the Medtronic Select Series™ arterial angled open-tip cannula in an independent three-component particle image velocimetry (3C-PIV) bench test.1,2
Advanced flow visualization analysis demonstrates that the Soft-Flow®* arterial cannula provides a divided blood flow pattern, which lessens the jetting effect observed with open-tip aortic cannulae. The closed diffusion tip is designed to help reduce the risk of dislodging plaque from the aortic wall.3
All Soft-Flow®* cannulae feature kink-resistant wirewound bodies and a 3/8-inch vented or non-vented connector.
Choose:
The closed tip has an inner cone that directs flow through side vents. This results in a diffuse, lower-velocity flow.1
The extended-length, kink-resistant, wirewound body allows use across various patient anatomies.2 An orientation line, depth markings, and suture ring help you position the cannula.
A smooth, tapered, reverse-angle tip is designed to facilitate insertion and placement.1
Depth markings and a suture bulb assist with positioning the cannulae. All cannulae feature kink-resistant wirewound bodies and a 3/8-inch vented or non-vented connector.
A smooth, tapered, reverse-angle tip is designed to facilitate insertion and placement. An orientation line, depth markings, and a suture bulb or flange assist with positioning the cannulae. All cannulae feature kink-resistant wirewound bodies and a 3/8-inch vented or non-vented connector.
Soft-Flow®* cannula flow charts are provided for your comparison. Each flow curve represents in vitro laboratory data obtained using water at room temperature. The actual pressure drops encountered in a clinical situation may vary from those shown, depending on the blood viscosity and temperature.
Risks of cannulation include vessel dissection or perforation, myocardial infarction, hematoma, thrombosis, embolization, renal failure, and death.
