The smartcanula is designed for canulation of the cardio-vascular system in conjunction with extracorporeal circulation.
Design
Is a wall-less canula that achieves higher blood flow while requiring less augmentation than traditional canulas.
Insertion/ less invasiveness
has a smaller insertion size due to the collapsed insertion of the smartcanula. The results in less trauma at the puncture site.
Performance
Has superior hemocompatibility during extracorporeal circulation by achievement the same flow with less negative pressure.
Adressing and transforming challenges in canulation
The smartPRINCIPLE
The smartcanula takes advantage of the anatomy by collapsed smartcanula insertion and expansion in situ resulting in increased cross-sectional area of the canula lumen.
The smartDESIGN
The smartcanula can be considered a „hybrid“:
The smartPARADOX
Longer smartcanulas provide better drainage than shorter ones due the virtually wall-less design allowing for temporary caval stenting.
The smartREMOVAL
Simple traction results in reduction of the smartcanula diameter and thus simplified device removal.
