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
