Easy to use:

  • Locking mechanism keeps introducer in position during insertion.
  • Smooth transition from introducer to cannula to support a safe cannula insertion
  • Depth marks to control insertion depth, a stop ring to define maximum insertion depth
  • Selectively hardened proximal cannula body, reduces the risk of kinking after insertion

Percutaneous Femoral Cannula, Femoral Vein Cannula, Arterial Cannula, and Arterial Cannula It is a wire-reinforced, thin-walled cannula made of braided polyurethane. The transparent proximal part is not wire reinforced and can be tightened. Each cannula is delivered with a pre-mounted 3/8" connector and an introducer that allows the use of up to 0.97 mm (0.038") guidewire. Cannulas are available in various sizes and lengths.

Detailed specifications

Nexus is used to supply oxygenated blood systemically during cardiopulmonary bypass. Ideal for percutaneous placement   Various tip modifications, such as flanges or adjustable rings, support the cannula's fit to the aorta.  It has a unique tip configuration to facilitate insertion and drainage techniques while providing flexibility and ease of use. By providing optimum flow, it minimises thrombus formation and ensures safe performance of cardiopulmonary bypass.   They are made of polyvinylchloride (PVC) and are wire reinforced to prevent blockage due to kinking.  

It is used in three different regions:

  • Distal ascending aorta
  • Femoral artery
  • Axillary artery
Performance Characteristics:

  • Thin cannula walls support an excellent pressure/flow performance
  • Reinforced side holes help reduce the risk of kinking
  • Duration of use from 6 hours up to 30 days

Easy to use:

  • The locking mechanism keeps the introducer in position during insertion
  • Smooth transition from introducer to the cannula to support a safe cannula insertion
  • The depth marks to control insertion depth, a stop ring to define maximum insertion depth
  • Selectively hardened proximal cannula body reduces the risk of kinking after insertion.

The uniquely designed bulging basket minimises the potential for tissue obstruction of the cannula side holes.

  • Minimal cannula tip stasis
  • It has convenient depth markings and a radiopaque tip marker.
  • Provides the physician with the option of veno-venous and veno-arterial placement.
  • Easy insertion
