Thin-Flex Dual Stage Venous Drainage Cannula - Cannula, venous

Intended purpose

Dual drainage venous return cannulae are indicated for venous cannulation so that extracorporeal circulation of the venous blood to a heart-lung machine may be achieved, for a duration of < 6 hours. They are also indicated for coronary bypass procedures where single tube venous drainage from the right atrium only is ordinarily contraindicated because of diminished caval return due to intraoperative manipulation of the heart.
