Soft-Flow Arterial Cannulae
Cardiac Surgery
Overview
Designed to be gentle on the aorta and easy to insert, Soft-Flow®* arterial cannulae help you proceed with confidence during cardiac surgery procedures.
As the first diffusion tip arterial cannulae on the market, the Soft-Flow was the cannula of choice for many cardiac surgeons. Working with MC3 Cardiopulmonary, we’ve made it possible to bring Soft-Flow arterial cannulae back to the market. Medtronic is the exclusive distributor and MC3 Cardiopulmonary is the manufacturer. Orders may be placed through your local Medtronic products representative.
INDICATIONS
Soft-Flow arterial cannulae are indicated for use in the perfusion of the ascending aorta during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery. They are single use products, and are indicated for up to 6 hours of use.
Product Details
All Soft-Flow cannulae feature kink-resistant wire-wound bodies and a 3/8” vented or non-vented connector.
Choose:
- Extended body with suture ring
- Straight tip with suture bulb
- Angled tip with suture bulb or suture flange
Soft-Flow extended arterial cannulae
The extended-length, kink-resistant, wire-wound body allows use across various patient anatomies. An orientation line, depth markings, and suture ring help you position the cannula.
Tip of Soft-Flow™ Extended Arterial Cannula
The closed tip of the Soft-Flow™ extended arterial cannula has an inner cone that directs flow through side vents. This results in a diffuse, lower velocity flow.
Soft-Flow™ Straight-Tip Arterial Cannula
The smooth, tapered, reverse-angle tip of the Soft-Flow™ straight-tip arterial cannula is designed to facilitate insertion and placement.
Soft-Flow™ Angled-Tip Arterial Cannula with Suture Bulb
The smooth, tapered, reverse-angle tip of the Soft-Flow™ angled tip arterial cannula is designed to facilitate insertion and placement.
Soft-Flow™ Angled-Tip Arterial Cannula with Suture Flange
The smooth, tapered, reverse-angle tip of the Soft-Flow™ angled-tip arterial cannula is designed to facilitate insertion and placement.
Flow Perfomance
Compare the pressure drop to the arterial line flow.
