How many cannulas are included in a case?
There are 10 cannulas per case.
Does the cannula include a secure Cath-Lok retention ring and funnel connector?
Yes, the Cardinal Health Argyle Thi Aortic Perfusion Cannula is equipped with both features for functional precision and secure handling:
- Cath-Lok Retention Ring: This specialized mechanism ensures secure positioning and retention, helping to maintain the cannula’s location during the procedure.
- Integral Funnel Connector: Located at the proximal end, this feature provides a reliable and streamlined interface for connection to standard perfusion circuitry.
Is there an orientation line for placement?
Yes, this cannula is designed with a specific feature to ensure accurate placement:
- It includes a distinctive blue orientation line that runs along the entire length of the clear PVC catheter.
- This line provides a visual reference that aids medical professionals in facilitating proper alignment and positioning during aortic perfusion procedures.
Does the cannula have a smooth, polished tip?
Yes, the Cardinal Health Argyle Thi Aortic Perfusion Cannula features a smooth, polished beveled tip. This precise design ensures accurate and optimal insertion characteristics during critical cardiac procedures.
Supporting features that aid in placement and visibility include:
- Clear PVC Construction: Allows clinicians to visually confirm fluid flow.
- Blue Orientation Line: Runs the entire length of the cannula for alignment verification.
- Cath-Lok Retention Ring: Provides a secure mechanism to maintain position.
Is the clear PVC optimal for flow visualization?
Yes, the Cardinal Health Argyle Thi Aortic Perfusion Cannula is made from clear PVC tubing.
This intentional design feature ensures visual inspection of fluid flow and catheter integrity is possible during perfusion procedures, offering enhanced monitoring capabilities.
What is the cannula's standard length?
The standard length for the Cardinal Health Argyle Thi Aortic Perfusion Cannula is 20 inches. This length is consistent across all available French sizes (21FR and 24FR) offered.
What sizes and tip lengths are available?
The Argyle Thi Aortic Perfusion Cannula is available in several configurations, defined by French size (FR), Outer Diameter (O.D.), and the length of the specialized tip beyond the Cath-Lok retention ring.
All variants share a nominal length of 20 inches and a 3/8-inch proximal lumen. The specific size options are detailed below:
| French Size (FR) | Outer Diameter (O.D.) | Tip Length Beyond Ring |
|---|---|---|
| 21 FR | 7.0 mm | 7/8 inch |
| 24 FR | 8.0 mm | 1 inch |
| 24 FR | 8.0 mm | 1½ inches |
Is an orientation line included on the cannula?
Yes, this specialized aortic perfusion cannula includes a crucial visual aid for accurate placement during procedures. It features a distinct blue orientation line that runs along the entire 20-inch length of the clear PVC catheter. This marker is designed to help clinicians maintain correct alignment and verify the catheter’s position throughout the operation.
Does the cannula use clear PVC for better visualization?
Yes, the Cardinal Health Argyle Thi Aortic Perfusion Cannula is constructed from clear PVC material.
This transparent construction is a key selling point as it offers several benefits during procedures:
- Visual Inspection: It allows medical staff to visually inspect the flow and monitor the catheter’s integrity throughout the procedure.
- Alignment Aid: The clear material enhances the visibility of the integral blue orientation line that runs along the entire length of the cannula, assisting in accurate alignment and positioning.
