EZ Glide Aortic Cannula - Cannula, arterial

Intended purpose

Aortic perfusion cannulae are intended for perfusion of the ascending aorta during short-term (< 6 hours) cardiopulmonary bypass procedures.

Functional description

EZ Glide Aortic Cannulae deliver oxygenated blood from the cardiopulmonary bypass pump directly into the aorta. The cannulae terminate in a 3/8" (9.5 mm) barbed tubing straight or T shaped connector and a vent plug. Cannulae are wire-reinforced and include a dispersion tip (EZ Glide tip) in either a straight or curved configuration. The auto-dilating tip facilitates insertion, while the tip angle (on curved device models) provides centered flow inside the aorta, away from the vessel wall.
